Just in case anyone's wondering I'm Irish myself. Although if you go back far enough My Ancestors were Scottish. The Irish used to wear Kilts as well, and to top it off I got married in a Kilt...... maybe I'm more Scottish that I think.... LOL

After all, the Celts brought whisky to Scotland! I stumbled across an interesting article in Friday's Washington Post on the Aberlour Distillery and others along (here's the fishing connection!) Spey River. Amazing how much scotch & fishing have in common! You can link to the article, which I would commend to your reading: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A38804-2003Jan24 As for myself, I enjoy the Islay malts the most, and Laphroaig is at or near the top of the peat heap, IMHO. The Post article is the result of a travel writer's tour of distilleries. Now, combine that with a Scottish fishing adventure and you may sell out the bus!
