Taliskers Distillery on Skye used to give its workers four drams a day then, when Diageo took over, two cases a year of yummy malt whiskey. "There were no accidents in those days, but now, with Health & Safety, the whiskey's stopped, and .....". We didn't visit the distillery but gleaned this first hand from a bright healthy smiling retired worker, on our walk round the shores of Loch Harport.
No time for distilleries! We've been too busy sailing and walking some lesser-visited parts of the Outer Hebrides (highlight probably the uninhabited southern tip, Berneray, where bird life, high brightly painted lighthouse, seals - for Richard to make friends with, sunshine and orchids made for magic); then Small Isle Canna, and now Tobermory (showers and washing machine - and rain!).
Superworkers, super-competent crew - Anna, Richard and Allan - mean I can relax, manicure my toenails and wash my underwear.
