Like McMurdo said wonderful pictures. To me, the Falkirk wheel looks so dangerous as if it's design was based on a medieval torture device, absolutly amazing yet scary

Yes I claimed my free dram ;)

The tour was quite good, if you like nothing but whisky then Islay is the place to go, we were there for 4 days and it was just right I think two to three days we had seen almost everything at least once ;)

But is very restful if your ever out that way worth a visit and I recommend the ardbeg kiln cafe for food its very busy get there before 12:30 but its worth it..

I spoke with the distillery manager of Ardbeg at the festival here in Oslo. He told me exactly the same thing... One Day...One day

Hahahaha well im afraid you have to just do it..

It is a liftetime experiance I dont think I have been anywhere else in the UK where every car driver puts his hand up coming fromt he other direction!! might nice people very friendly..

The west coats is also a beatiful place so if you go for a few weeks you can fit in Islay then have a tour through the lower highlands ;)

Say, what is this gentleman pouring? Looks like a shot of latte or something.

Is this the precious coffee you refer to?

Sorry missed this one.. No the guy is pouring out the beer this is the whiskey before distilling it has a very aquired taste think the alchohol is about 4% cloudy and warm very odd but worth trying ;)

The coffee is something else there is a small shop on the island it maeks fantastic coffee its called debbies!! ;)
