I enclose a photograph of the smoke belching out of the Port Ellen Maltings in the rear of the photograph.
On that day the wind was blowing from the East but on Islay the prevailing wind is from the South West. https://m.facebook.com/photo?fbid=78...73493546055009

The 'smoke' looks like steam and if that's what you class as 'smoke belching out' of a chimney I suggest you cast your mind back to some of the chimneys you saw in your formative years.

The chimneys are burning peat to make peated barley which is then used in the production of single malt scotch whisky.
This results in smoke from the burning peat belching out of the chimneys.
Unlike you I see this happening every time I am in Port Ellen and on a clear day I can see the smoke from the Port Ellen Maltings being emitted up into the sky from the front room of our house on Islay.

Steam is invisible.

Steam is invisible.

Now now. You are right that steam is initially invisible but as it cools it changes from a gas to a visible liquid plume, At least it do

Correct.
I have never seen brown steam coming out of the Port Ellen Maltings chimneys.
However I have seen plenty of brown smoke coming out of the Port Ellen Maltings chimneys

Stop Press.
Last Tuesday night’s lowest minimum temperature in March for 8 years has been beaten.
The following night the minimum temperature at Altnaharra in North West Scotland was minus 16c (3F) which makes it the lowest March temperature recorded in the U.K. for 8 years. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation
Incidentally Altnaharra was the also the coldest place in the U.K.yesterday (Thursday) and the sunniest.
I hope that you enjoy your golf.

Thanks for your information.
I noticed a headline from the Courier at 1.36pm stating that the Tay Road Bridge was closed causing traffic chaos in the centre of Dundee.
The Tay Road Bridge authorities are going to have to stop all people walking across the bridge to prevent people threatening to jump off the bridge.
Which end of the Tay Road Bridge was the person jumping off the bridge.

No idea.....does seem to be far more people threatening to jump AFF than there used to be.

They wud be doing well to dodge the traffic to get to the railings.

They have Samaritan adverts on a few of the lampies on the bridge, I doubt anyone who was that way inclined wud pay much attention but you never no.

What made it worse was there's roadworks fife side heading north and down to one lane so you couldn't at first turn right and head to Perth or go right round circle, traffic queued back to st Michael's at one point.

I'm assuming he or she was talked Doon.....which is the main thing.
