Unfortunatey not, but don't let that put you off a visit, assuming you'v never been. It's a fantastic place to go and plenty of first class food & drink and very friendly people, although I'm biased being Scottish myself.
I was there 5 or 6 times last year and used Prestwick as a fuel stop which was more or less on my route anyway. Landing at Prestwick is only £12 for a light single if you use the Prestwick Flight Centre, which itself is a very friendly and hospitable place.

... OH YES THERE IS !!
Actually there is fuel at Islay. Got some last month, think I paid aboot £1.25 litre + vat. But while you're in the area, why not venture 25 minutes up the coast to Oban and get fuel there ? Think it's about £1.15 litre +vat. Prestwick is aboot £1.23 +vat at the moment.
And then, after Oban, you could drop into Mull and get some of Brendan and Alison bambi-burgers !!

Yes, AVGAS by bowser.
When we went there a couple of weeks ago the bowser team that day was being trained in its operation, and great care was taken to ensure that what I wanted, and what I got, was 100LL. Most impressive care all round.
