Port Askaig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Askaig is a port village on the east coast of the island of Islay, in Scotland. It serves as the main port of Islay along with Port Ellen sharing passenger services to the Scottish mainland. It also has a regular service to Feolin, Jura across the Islay Sound. It has a hotel next to the port but has very few households.
Port Askaig is memorialized in the classic 6/8 bagpipe pipe march "Leaving Port Askaig."
