QUÉ SIGNIFICA ISLAY EN INGLÉS
Islay
Islay, es la isla más austral de las Hébridas Internas de Escocia. Conocida como "La Reina de las Hébridas", se encuentra en Argyll justo al sur oeste de Jura y unos 40 kilómetros al norte de la costa irlandesa. La capital de la isla y el asentamiento más grande es Bowmore, donde se encuentra la distintiva iglesia parroquial de Kilarrow y una destilería. Puerto Ellen es el puerto principal. Islay es la quinta isla más grande de Escocia y la séptima isla más grande alrededor de Gran Bretaña, con una superficie total de casi 620 kilómetros cuadrados. Hay una amplia evidencia del asentamiento prehistórico de Islay y la primera referencia escrita puede haber llegado en el siglo I dC. La isla se había convertido en parte del Reino Gaélico de Dál Riata durante la Alta Edad Media antes de ser absorbido en el Reino Nórdico de las Islas. El período medieval posterior marcó un "punto culminante cultural" con la transferencia de las Hébridas al reino de Escocia y la aparición del Clan Donald Lordship of the Isles, originalmente centrado en Finlaggan. Durante el siglo 17 la estrella Clan Donald se desvaneció, pero las mejoras en la agricultura y el transporte llevaron a un aumento de la población, que alcanzó su punto máximo a mediados del siglo XIX.
