Ardtalla (Scottish Gaelic: 'Àird Talla') is a place name and estate in the southeast coastal area of Islay, Scotland. The name derives from Gaelic Àird, a "point", and talla, a now obsolete word for rock, not "high grave" as suggested by some. A well-defined track emanates from the Ardtalla Estate encountering coastal scenery and an Iron Age fort.
