Obh, obh... cus uisge-beatha dhan t-sluagh? Taighean-staile à thall-thairis a-nis a' fàs nas motha. Agus Brexit, Ukraine, Trump uile a' dèanamh cuisean nas miosa.

Sorry to see the Isle of Harris Distillery in difficulties. Is the whisky bubble about to burst? Too many distillers and bottlers? Challenging conditions internationally too.

Découvrir l’Isle of Harris Distillery a été un moment marquant de mon voyage à Harris en 2018. Une distillerie pas comme les autres, qui mêle passion, tradition et innovation. Leurs produits, comme le whisky The Hearach, sont un hommage à l’île et à ses habitants. Un spiritueux unique, capturant l’essence de cette terre sauvage. 🌊🥃

L’Isle of Harris Distillery est bien plus qu’une simple distillerie. C’est un projet humain qui lie tradition et innovation au cœur de l’île de Harris. Depuis ma visite en 2018, je suis fascinée par l’authenticité de leur approche. Le whisky The Hearach, vieilli en fûts de Bordeaux, est un véritable chef-d’œuvre. Une expérience qui capture l’âme de l’île et la passion de ses habitants. 🌊🥃

Aunt Julia spoke Gaelic
very loud and very fast.
By the time I had learned
a little, she lay
silenced in the absolute black
of a sandy grave
at Luskentyre.
But I hear her still, welcoming me
with a seagull's voice
across a hundred yards
of peatscrapes and lazybeds
and getting angry, getting angry
with so many questions
unanswered.

A brief smirk from the weather gods on our last day on the Isle of Harris, so I managed to sneak in Uisgneabhal Mòr, Tèileasbhal, and Stulabhal. Another excellent route, great ridges, prominent peaks, although descent off Uisgneabhal Mòr was a bit of a slog on tired legs. Looking forward to returning and doing more hills on Harris.

European shags or great cormorants ... hard to tell from the distance.
