Description
Book SynopsisPoet and historian Angus Martin was born in Campbeltown in 1952 and has lived there all his life. In this, his thirty-seventh book, he has employed his intimate knowledge of the history and families of his native community to produce the definitive account of the distillers, distilleries and related trades and industries which transformed a small West Highland fishing town into the whisky-making capital of the world. Exhaustive research in neglected sources has resulted a study with unprecedented detail and insight.
Trade Review[I] .. can't think of a better historian to tell the story of [this] regional whisky, and no one has done it at this level of detail.' Frank Winter, Whisky-Botschafter
