Thanks for sharing that Don. Bruichladdich is getting quite a lot of
favourable coverage of late. You might remember a couple of months ago that
I mentioned a radio program in Ontario called "A Wee Breath of Scotland",
which airs on Sunday afternoons from 4 - 6 pm. Its the most-listened to
program in Ontario in that time slot. The announcer, Dennis Snowdon,
visited Islay in May, and told his audience all about his visit, especially
Bruichladdich distillery, which he praised very highly. Not only that, he
played a song by Robin Laing, about the distillery, which is a lovely
ballad.

Thanks also to Don McArthur who recorded the program for me, while I was in
Scotland, and sent me the tape. I can sing along with Robin any time I
want!

Snowdon also said that at the time he was on Islay, there was also a film
crew for "Canadian Air Farce" at the distilleries (I can just imagine!), and
that TV program should appear in the fall. Will keep you all posted when
the date is announced. That should be a riot!

Cheers,
Toni
