Port Ellen
Port Ellen ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Port Ìlein)) is a small town on the island of Islay, in Argyll, Scotland. The town is named after the wife of the founder, Frederick Campbell of Islay. Its previous name, ''Leòdamas'', is derived from old Norse meaning "Leòd's Harbour". Port Ellen is built around Leodamais Bay, Islay's main deep water harbour. It is the largest town on Islay, only slightly larger than Bowmore and provides the main ferry connection between Islay and the mainland, at Kennacraig. The Port Ellen Distillery was first established in the 1820s and ceased production of Scotch whisky in 1983. The large malting continues to produce for the majority of the distilleries on Islay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Port Ellen )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Port Ellen Distillery )〕 ==History== The area around Port Ellen has a variety of archaeological sites covering the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age periods.
