Warren Club 'Picnic'

When I passed the Buttermarket on Islay's evening walk this evening, it was full of people. Tables of drinks and food had been set up, and small tables with people huddled around them in deckchairs, though everyone seemed to be having a good time, despite the drizzle.
It was the annual Warren Club picnic. They were supposed to have it on the Warren (the Club was originally formed to raise money for the upkeep of the Warren), but it's been so wet they couldn't even put a marquee up there. Hence the Buttermarket.
