Scotch & Water

In 1985, a group of young Scots sailed through the Hebrides of Scotland aboard the 38ft ketch "Alystra". Their aim was to visit all teh malt whisky distilleries on the islands of Islay, Jura, Mull and Skye, to meet the islanders, record the history of the distilleries and to sample and savour the drams like Lagavulin, Talisker and Tobermory. This book is the result of the venture, illustrated with maps of all the island areas, and a tribute to the hardy people who established a multi-million dollar export industry in some of the most beautiful but inhospitable landscape in western Europe.
