The Bholsa Caves || Isle of Islay || Scotland

[@flyingchilders]

Been to Islay loads of times, didn’t know about these caves, great video.

[@ardview-vanlife]

They are not very well known I would say. I don't even know many locals who have visited the caves 😀 The place is insane though, well worth the trek 😁

So great to meet you both today! Thank you for the incredible tasting, conversation, and drams to go! We look forward to visiting again!

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thank you so much Terry and Jennifer! It was so lovely to meet you and hope to see you soon again :)

How cold is the water in the waterfall? I wanted to wash myself under the water, and then I could quickly get dressed!

[@ardview-vanlife]

Hi! It depends on the time of the year. It's a river so on a lovely hot day, it will heat up really nicely 😍 just be very careful, as the rocks under the waterfall can be very slippy.

cool vlog! I've been to Islay several times.(mostly whiskey orientated) and will be going again in a few weeks. Most certain gonna be heading there too... reminds me of the Oa

[@ardview-vanlife]

Aw great. If you pop into Bruichladdich, make sure to say hi. The Bholsa caves is a bit like The Oa, just doesn't have massive cliffs.

Just WOW!

I love this video. Planning a visit to islay in mid may (just before the festival). Would love to visit these caves. How far of a walk (1 hour, 2 hour walk?) are they from the Bunnahabhain distillery? We are definitely visiting Bruichladdich. That is my favorite.

[@ardview-vanlife]

Sorry for the late reply, never noticed your comment. It is quite a walk out to the caves, you best give yourself 3 hours to get there. Make sure you give yourself the hole day or even better camp at the caves. It's 100% worth the effort.

Looks amazing! We're coming to Islay end of March/beginning of April, we'll have to try visit them. Which part of the island are they on?

[@ardview-vanlife]

Thank you Sharon and Phil! They are on the northwest of the island. We parked at Bunnahabhain Distillery and walked a bit along the coastline and then crossed to the west coast between two large hills. When you are over send us a wee email at [e-mail] and if you like, pop into Bruichladdich Distillery where we work, and will give you a good dram and proper directions! :)

[@thelifeofreillytravels]

Aw thanks guys. We're planning to visit as many of the distilleries as possible, so will definitely come by Bruichladdich for a good dram and a chat.🥃🥃 Will send you an email with more details on when we're coming, speak soon.👍🏻

[@ardview-vanlife]

@@thelifeofreillytravels Amazing! See you guys on Islay! :)

[@Teenibash1969]

I’m from Islay and never knew of these caves 🤔🤔

[@ardview-vanlife]

Aw you need to go and see them. They are incredible and we just scratched the surface on that video 😁

[@saskiachana9514]

Hi where is this as Bhosha caves do not appear in maps ?

[@ardview-vanlife]

Hi, yeah not surprised it doesn't come up on google maps. Not many people have been there probably. Here are the coordinates - 55.927348, -6.168961 . hope this helps :)
