This is the story of a war. A war between a hostile London government and an army of cottage whisky-makers, mostly in the Highlands of Scotland. These Highlanders believed they had a natural right to make Uisge Bea - literally the water of life - from their own barley just as they made porridge from their own oats. This book offers a collection of stories from the Peatreek Conflict, which are a mixture of humour and tragedy but which aim to illustrate the indomitable spirit of the Highlander and the importance of Whisky in Scottish culture.
