Ballygrant
The lost Islay distillery of Ballygrant was but a fleeting part of the island’s history.
Scarabuss distillery
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Scarabus, its current spelling, is an isolated farm about two miles north of Bridgend, roughly midway between the Lochs Skerrols and Cam. It is close to a burn that feeds into the River Drolsay on its meandering course from Glen Drolsay to Loch Skerrols and from there on into the north end of Lochindaal near Islay House.
