A LOCAL SPECIALITY

6 Abhainn Dearg Distillery

Take a tour of the Abhainn Dearg (Red River) distillery, atmospherically tucked away in a valley in remote Uig on Lewis. This smattering of unprettified barn buildings looks exactly how an illegal whisky distillery of years gone by might have done. Charismatic owner Marko Tayburn proudly declares that all ingredients – from the plough to the bottle – are sourced on the island. 01851 672429; abhainndearg.co.uk
