Heck, I've been dreaming of the garden and Scotch brewery tour that I read about - the stitching would be a mere after thought. I should add hard to do if a brewery tour or two had proceeded it. Sorry to be picky but please - Scottish not scotch. And brewery (beer) or distillery (spirits)? Important distinctions if you visit Scotland g I can't drink any kind of spirit (whisky, gin, rum etc) but do enjoy beer - especially my own home-brew (cost works out at about 25 pence per pint). Up here we do have the Orkney Brewery which produces special beers with wonderfully evocative names such as "Skull Splitter", see www.legendslimited.com/skull.html. And if you like whisky there is the Highland Park Distillery, Scapa, Orkney, Scotland, see www.highlandpark.co.uk/index.html. Was the garden in the tour you mentioned the sub-tropical one on the west coast of Scotland at Inverewe? Nice photographs at http://www.treasuresofbritain.org/InvereweGarden.htm to whet your appetite! Bruce |

I stand corrected - I was talking about the (supposedly) fabulous tour of the Scotch distilleries and their surrounding gardens. One is on Islay and the other escapes my mind. Several tours available at www.scotlandwhisky.com/Whisky_tours/. Islay appears to be awash with distilleries - there are eight of them at www.islaywhiskysociety.com/. There's a good overview of Scottish distilleries at www.scotlandwhisky.com/distilleries However, if you are a beer-drinker like me then http://www.highlandcamra.org.uk/Breweries.htm is a handy guide to breweries in the north of Scotland (some pubs still brew their own beer!)
