The Islay Woollen Mill is situated just off the main Port Askaig road near Bridgend. The Mill is owned and run by Gordon and Sheila Covell and produces an excellent range of top quality woven fabrics, much in demand by the Hollywood film industry.

Islay Woollen Mill designs were featured in Braveheart starring Mel Gibson, Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks and Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson.

The Mill shop is open from Monday to Saturday and features a wide selection of both Woollen Mill products and quality souvenirs of Islay.

Should you visit Islay, stopping at the Islay Woollen Mill is as necessary as touring a distillery.
