Friday Islay Picture #105 - Finlaggan Visitor Centre Refurbishment
![Does exactly what it says on the label: This is the weekly Friday Islay Picture Friday Islay Picture in stencil](../images/friday-islay-picture.gif)
Friday evening, I've had my first wee dram of Islay Single Malt (a Laphroaig 10yo), now it's time to post this week's Friday Islay picture. This week I decided to post a topical picture with a link to a news item from Islay. The picture is from last summer, it shows refurbishment and extension work being carried out at the Finlaggan visitor centre:

The work has since been completed as a video clip at the BBC titled New access to Lord of the Isles shows. It provides an overview about Finlaggan and provides a few impressions of the refurbished and expanded visitor centre. The extended visitor centre will officially be opened tomorrow, Saturday, 16/May/2009 at 14:30 with archaeologist Dr David Caldwell and historian Dr Fiona Watson in attendance. Later there will be a celebration ceilidh at Ballygrant Hall (Saturday, 16/May, 19:30).
That's all I have for this evening. As usual I'll post the larger version on the Islay Pictures photoblog tomorrow morning. Have a great weekend!
