    Drinkers Order Whisky Galore Island's Entire Stocks … Five

    Drinkers order Whisky Galore island’s entire stocks … five years too early 4th may 2009 shân ross Not a brick has been laid to build the first distillery on the island where Whisky Galore! was filmed—but connoisseurs have already signed up to reserve the entire batch of its first-year casks. Peter Brown will begin building the distillery on Barra in the autumn. The distillery, costing more than £1 million, will make about 5,000 gallons of Isle of Barra Single Malt Whisky a year using water from Loch Uisge, the island’s highest loch. It will use barley grown by crofters on the island before being milled and malted locally and be bottled at the distillery in Borve. Whisky needs to be matured for three years before it can legally be called whisky so the distillery will not have its first consignment until 2014. In the meantime Mr Brown has taken orders for the £1,000 oak casks from individuals and groups of friends from countries including Germany, Japan and Sweden, and the rest of the u.k. More than half the casks will be retained by the distillery but he is already selling his public quota of second-year reserve. Mr Brown said it was impossible to tell at this stage what the whisky would taste like but that it was ‘unlikely to be excessively peaty’. He said it would sell at about £30 a bottle at current prices at the premium end of market. Mr Brown, who ran a courier company in Edinburgh before moving to Barra 12 years ago, said: ‘The whisky will be of the island, from the island.

    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years Ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 Pages This PDF History Timeline Has Been Extracted

    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 pages This PDF History Timeline has been extracted from the History World web site's time line. The PDF is a very simplified version of the History World timeline. The PDF is stripped of all the links found on that timeline. If an entry attracts your interest and you want further detail, click on the link at the foot of each of the PDF pages and query the subject or the PDF entry on the web site, or simply do an internet search. When I saw the History World timeline I wanted a copy of it for myself and my family in a form that we could access off-line, on demand, on the device of our choice. This PDF is the result. What attracted me particularly about the History World timeline is that each event, which might be earth shattering in itself with a wealth of detail sufficient to write volumes on, and indeed many such events have had volumes written on them, is presented as a sort of pared down news head-line. Basic unadorned fact. Also, the History World timeline is multi-faceted. Most historic works focus on their own area of interest and ignore seemingly unrelated events, but this timeline offers glimpses of cross-sections of history for any given time, embracing art, politics, war, nations, religions, cultures and science, just to mention a few elements covered. The view is fascinating. Then there is always the question of what should be included and what excluded.

    Book Reviews

    BOOK REVIEWS The Rural Tradition: a Study of the Non-Fiction Prose Writers of the English Countryside. By W.J. Keith. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1974. Pp. xiv, 310. $15.00. Thirteen years ago, a young university teacher and novelist enquired what I had done my recently completed Ph.D. dissertation on; and when I told him it was on George Sturt and English rural labouring life, he asked if 1 was joking. I could see why. On the face of it, writers like Sturt or Richard Jefferies - assuming one knew of them at all - were simply not the kind whose non-fiction about rural life demanded academic treatment. They wrote about relatively uncomplicated beings and doings, in lucid and unostentatious prose. There were no metaphysical depths to sound in them, no paradoxes to tease out, no striking historical obscurities to elucidate. Their works did not belong in any obvious genre, and there had been no significant critical controversies about them. Yet these very qualities could make such writers peculiarly interesting to work on if one was moved by them and wanted to find out why. 1n 1965, W.J. Keith gave us the first academic book on Richard Jefferies, based in part on an MA. thesis of his own. It was a very decent piece of work, unmarred by special pleading or a self-servingly ingenious discovery of non-existent complexities, and it was well calculated to get Jefferies taken seriously by readers ignorant of, or prejudiced against, the important review-article on hirp by Q.D. Leavis in Scrutiny (1938).
  • 1930S' Scottish Highland and Islands Life- the Documentary

    1930S' Scottish Highland and Islands Life- the Documentary

    The event which is in front of her eyes: 1930s’ Scottish Highland and Islands life- the documentary photography and film of M.E.M. Donaldson, Jenny Gilbertson and Margaret Fay Shaw. ‘The event which is in front of her eyes’ comes from the following John Berger quote: ‘The photographer chooses the events he photographs. The choice can be thought of as a cultural construction. The space for this construction is, as it were, cleared by his rejection of what he did not choose to photograph. The construction is his reading of the event which is in front of his eyes. It is that reading, often intuitive and very fast, which decides his choice of the instant to be photographed’. [1] For the purposes of this essay, I choose to imagine every ‘he’ of this quotation about a photographer’s choice, reading and gaze, as ‘she’. What did Donaldson, Gilbertson and Shaw see? Did they see their work as a ‘cultural construction’? How did they read the events in front of them? These women are not grouped together purely because of their biological gender. None were native to the rural communities they photographed or filmed, with only Gilbertson being Scottish by birth. [2] All chose independently to move to, and live over a substantial period of time with the rural communities they were documenting. M.E.M. Donaldson left England to build her own home on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula; Margaret Fay Shaw, an American, moved from New York to live with the sisters Peigi [1874-1969] and Màiri MacRae [1883- 1972] for six years at their croft at North Glendale, South Uist; and Jenny Gilbertson (née Brown) went as a single woman to live on a croft in Shetland, in order to make films, then settled there following her marriage to a crofter.

    BODIES, BOOKS AND THE BUCOLIC: ENGLISHNESS, LITERATURE AND SEXUALITY, 1918-1939 WREN SIDHE A thesis submitted to Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities May 2001 ABSTRACT The hypothesisthis thesistests is that interwar hegemonicdiscourses of Englishness locatedit as originating in the heterosexualbond betweena masculinenational subject and a feminine nature/landscape.Discursively, this left little spacefor women to insert themselvesinto sucha cultural formation. However, a paradoxof this heterosexualising 0 cultural matrix may havebeen to give a voice to lesbiansubjectivity, sinceIf 'women' might not be English, could lesbiansbe? If national land was figured as feminine, and women desiredidentification with their country-as-land,to becomeEnglish might mean for somewomen that they shouldbecome lesbian. In order to explore this, three main questionsare examined.Firstly, to what extent did the dominant discourseof the rural in the interwar period define 'Englishness'as masculineand 'Nature' as feminine? Secondly,if women were excludedfrom this discursiveheterosexual relationship, can it be seenparadoxically to haveopened up a spacefor alternativesexualities to emerge? If lesbianismwere an instanceof the latter, then what writing strategieswere adoptedin order to articulatea relationshipbetween Englishness and lesbianism?Thirdly, what can censoredand other literary texts of the period reveal aboutthe relationsbetween such an English masculinenational subject,the meaningand powersattributed to literature,and forbidden sexualitiesand subjectivities? In its analysisof the relationshipbetween national identity, geographical location and sexuality,this thesiscontributes to studiesof Englandand Englishness through the addition of the conceptof 'sexuality' to an understandingof their construction.It also contributesto lesbianand gay critical theory by examiningthe nationalprocesses which impinge of the construýtionof the homosexualsubject.
