As we call that in Scotland "A. WEE DRAM." that's a little drink of Whisky.

I am sure you would like a glass of Whisky if you completed Lejog at John O Groats.

Ah, I am hoping to finish before then.

I don't like Whisky anyway :) :)

Confession time for me, I have NEVER drank Whisky, some people take it neep, that's without anything to dilute it such as lemonade or water.

Ooh, what do Highland Park Distillery (Orkney) and Shetland Reel Distillery Company say to that?

I am sure if there was a distillery in every town in the North of Scotland there would still be enough Whisky for everyone to drink, sorry to say alcohol consumption in Scotland causes quite a few domestic and health issues.

Yes. While living on Shetland I didn't visit any pubs as I was informed that they were just places people went to drink themselves silly.

According to Wikipedia there is one legal Distillery in Shetland, legal, how many illegal is a mystery.

Aren't there any distilleries on Orkney or Shetland, then?

You can't get much further north than Unst. shetlandreel.com/pages/our-...

Apparently there are 5 in the Orkney Isles and 1 in Shetland.
