Museum has whisky galore

A bottle of Scotch salvaged from the ship that inspired Whisky Galore! has been bought by the Scottish Maritime Museum. The unlabelled bottle of blended whisky was salvaged from the SS Politician, which ran aground off the Isle of Eriskay in 1941. George Currie, a diver from Orkney, recovered the bottle from the wreck in June 1987. The whisky was bought at auction with help from National Museums Scotland’s National Fund for Acquisitions. scottishmaritimemuseum.org
