Alex,

Thanks for the latest update. What do you think of these developments?

At first blush it appears to me that while the direct economic impact (construction, refurbishment, and about 20 jobs) would not be huge, the indirect benefit of more tourists pouring in (ETP) and perhaps staggering out would be enduring and more beneficial.

Yes indeed.
Job creation in the actual distilleries is limited but hopefully plenty of new jobs in tourism if we can attract a major influx of visitors. Hawick is marketed as Scotland's Heritage Capital as besides its historic buildings and award winning park, it is also home to a Heritage Hub where ancestry research can be carried out through its very substantial resources.

Stop it! You're making me want to book reservations. ;)

Thanks again for the update.
