The Scottish island that buried America's dead
Guidance: Contains images some may find distressing.
BBC Scotland:
It is the whisky-making Scottish island, world famous for its peaty single malts and warm hospitality.
But the Isle of Islay, in the Inner Hebrides, is now being recognised for an almost forgotten example of huge courage and humanity.
A hundred years ago, Islay was on the frontline in the battle at sea during World War One.
The island coped with mass casualties from two major troopship disasters just eight months apart.
Between them, the sinkings of the SS Tuscania in February and HMS Otranto in October, claimed the lives of about 700 men in the last year of the war.
Both will be officially commemorated on Islay this week.
A century ago, the island was enduring considerable pain. It had already lost about 150 sons on the Western front, from a population of just 6,000.
Every household grieved for someone killed in a far away field. And then the carnage of war came to them.
The Tuscania had almost completed its transatlantic voyage, carrying US troops, among a convoy of ships.
As it turned into the north channel between Scotland and Ireland on 5 February 1918, danger lurked beneath the waves.
A German U-boat stalked the convoy, got the Tuscania in its sights and fired two torpedoes - one of which ripped a huge gash in its side.
It was a fatal blow. The former luxury liner, converted for the war effort, would soon be on the seabed.
The Tuscania was carrying almost 2,500 US soldiers and British crew.
Incredibly, most were rescued by the Royal Navy. But some of those who made it into lifeboats were not so lucky.
They were swept towards the cliffs and rocks of Islay's Oa peninsula and shipwrecked for a second time.
WW100 Scotland Day of Commemoration on Islay
On Friday 4 May 2018 the Ilich paid their respects to the fallen and the wounded in the First World War, 100 years ago, alongside dignitaries who include the Princess Royal, the US Ambassador to UK and the Acting Ambassador of Germany. The Commemoration Service took place in Port Ellen at the War Memorial.

Stormy weather in Port Charlotte, Isle of Islay
After a windy day a fairly big swell was rolling into Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay, Scotland.
The Port Charlotte lighthouse can be seen against a grey and dull sky, waves breaking against the rocks below it.
Waves are breaking over Port Charlotte pier, sending spray high into the air. The birds are undisturbed by the weather and the waves though, resting on the pier wall unimpressed by the waves breaking over the pier. A young couple walks on the pier, carefully avoiding the waves and the spray.
The video finishes with a view south down Loch Indaal, over to The Oa with the American Monument. On the horizon the weather seems to brighten up, better weather ahead for Islay?
