Ardtalla

Ardtalla (Scottish Gaelic: 'Àird Talla'[1]) is a place name and estate in the southeast coastal area of Islay, Scotland.

[2] The name derives from Gaelic Àird, a "point", and talla, a now obsolete word for rock,[1] not "high grave"[3] as suggested by some.

A well-defined track emanates from the Ardtalla Estate encountering coastal scenery and an Iron Age fort.

[4] According to Roger Redfern, Saint Columba landed nearby at Ardmore Point on his historic journey from Ireland around the Hebrides.

[5] In Redfern's book, Walking in the Hebrides, he details scenic and historic elements in and around the Ardtalla Estate.
