Right then y’all. It’s time once again for #MasterofCocktails. This week’s drink (and next week’s come to think of it), are both drinks that you *should* feel comfortable ordering if…
Sticking with the Daiquiri theme, we’re (finally) making Mojitos this week on #MasterofCocktails. It’s taken a while to get round to it, but is there a more crowd-pleasing summer drink?…
After Fèis Ìle 2014 I travelled straight down to Liverpool – do not pass go, do not collect any clean underwear – and jumped on the Steam Packet over to…

Greetings traveller, In today’s Tales From The Isle I’d planned to bring you the story of the devil’s final visit to Bowmore in some detail, but an action-packed day at…
Well these have certainly been a wee while coming, but all good things, etc… Truth is, I’ve sort of forgotten that any other type of whisky other than ‘peated’ exists…
Greetings traveller, They say that the devil no longer visits Islay, which is why one policeman is sufficient for a population of thousands. We’ll be taking a closer look at…
Greetings traveller, Traditionally-rigged tall ships are pretty cool. Ships like the Bessie Ellen, for example, Britain’s last wooden coasting ketch still under sail. These days it’s a regular sight at…
