Beschreibung
'One of the most important Scottish writers of the twentieth century' TLS
Whisky and Scotland is a witty, erudite and lyrical toast to uisge beatha, the Celt's 'water of life'. Taking readers on a journey through the Highlands of Scotland, it describes the traditional techniques whereby barley grains become an amber spirit.
Written by one of Scotland's most acclaimed early twentieth-century novelists, Whisky and Scotland remains timely and relevant, encompassing nationalism, culture and what it means to be Scottish in its examination of the whisky tradition.
A classic since its original publication in 1935, this beautiful new gift edition of Whisky and Scotland will enlighten and entertain all who share the author's delight in a brew that recalls 'the world of hills and glens, of raging elements, of shelter, of divine ease'.

All his strength, his vision, his style come from his people, from the Scottish tradition, from the Gaelic past, but he applies them to the crucial questions of our time. What he has to say is a concern of all men. Scottish literature here is national, yet knows no national limitations
