  • 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.

  • Calmac Winter Reliability Mull & Iona Ferry Committee Version 3, 05/05/2019
    CalMac winter reliability Mull & Iona Ferry Committee Version 3, 05/05/2019 First presented to CalMac MD Robbie Drummond on 18/02/19. This version contains cancellation and wind data through to the end of the winter 18/19 timetable period. What the users think Mull & Iona Ferry Committee are undertaking an online users’ survey, that at the time of writing is still open. These are preliminary results after more than 700 responses. We are including some selected results here that are pertinent to the reliability issue. Here you can see clearly that the most important attribute of our ferry services is reliability. What the users think Not only is reliability the most important attribute, it is also overwhelmingly perceived to be worsening. What the users think What is your over-all level of satisfaction with the service? Oban - Craignure There is huge disparity of satisfaction between Oban – Craignure and Lochaline – Fishnish. Why? Lochaline - Fishnish Reliability One of the main differences between the two services is reliability. Here you can see the cancellation rate of the two routes over the last 20 winter timetable periods. There is a strong upward trend on the Oban – Craignure service, whereas Lochaline – Fishnish does not seem to be showing such a deterioration. Throughout this long period, the main winter Oban – Craignure vessel has not changed. Reliability The problem does not seen to be restricted to Oban – Craignure. Here you can see how it compares with some other major-vessel routes. Reliability Infact, the entire CalMac network is showing a decline in reliability. Note that these figures are all showing weather- related cancellations only, and have been calculated as a percentage of scheduled services.

  • 1. Barra Airport (United Kingdom)
    1. Barra Airport (United Kingdom) Barra Airport is the airport serving the Scottish island of Barra. This airport has three unusual runways that are all located on the beach. This means airplanes can only land at low tide, at high tide aircraft can’t land or take off. The airport can only be used by smaller aircrafts. Barra Airport is one of two airports worldwide with a runway on the beach. Another unusual feature is the landing procedure at night; cars parked at the airport use their lights to illuminate the runway. 2. Corfu Airport (Greece) Corfu Airport is a small airport located on the Greek island of Corfu (or Kerkyra). The airport only has one but rather unusal runway, which is largely located in the sea. There is a dam at the southern end of the runway, where the pilots need to fly over at low altitude. The runway of Corfu Airport is made of asphalt and has a length of 2.373 metres. For plane spotters, it is a special place to spot aircrafts. 3. Courchevel Airport (France) Courchevel Airport is located in the French Alps, and only has one runway. It is one of the shortest in the world with a length of 525 metres. Due to its impractical location at an altitude of 2000 metres in the mountains, half the unusual runway has a gradient of 18.5%. As a result, take-offs can only be made downhill and landings uphill, making a touch and go landing impossible. Only specially trained pilots are allowed to fly to this destination.

  • Film Classification Request Whisky Galore!
    AGE CLASSIFICATION REQUEST 2016 Belmont Film House , 49 Belmont Street , Aberdeen WHISKY GALORE! SYNOPSIS The warmth, whimsy and, of course, the whisky which made Whisky Galore! such a success in both the source novel and Alexander Mackendrick’s 1949 film adaptation are alive and well in this version of a much loved and highly treasured favourite. The story of Whisky Galore! is based on real life events, when the 8000 ton cargo ship the SS Politician ran aground off the Island of Eriskay during gale force winds. Author Compton McKenzie took these events and wrote a wonderfully warm and witty book that was ripe for adaptation. In 1949 his story of whisky-deprived islanders plundering a wrecked vessel and doing their best to hide the loot from the Home Guard was adapted by Ealing Studios, going on to be hailed a classic. It was released in the US as Tight Little Island and in France as the far more saucy Whisky A Go Go. The film details the story of the inhabitants of the isolated Scottish island of Todday, in the Outer Hebrides, where gloom sets in as their wartime rationing of whisky runs out. When cargo ship the SS Cabinet Minister runs aground the shrewd islanders run rings around the buffoonish English Home Guard commander Captain Waggett (beautifully played by Eddie Izzard) and conspire to hide away cases of the precious amber nectar.
