The Scottish Radiance Book Shelf

Tales of Whisky and Smuggling
by Stuart McHardy

This is the story of a war - between a hostile London Government and large numbers of cottage whisky- makes, mostly in the Highlands. Highlanders believed they had a natural right to make whisky from their own barley, just as they made porridge from their own oats. The government with little time for Highland culture and no appreciation of it, wanted to raise as much tax revenue as possible from distillation. This book is based upon actual event in the "Peatreek" conflict, stories which are mixture of humor and tragedy but which illustrate the indomitable spirit of the Highlander.
