We took our traditional trip to a distillery; this one at Deanston across the river Teith from Doune. The old tall building used to be, a cotton mill until the 1960s when the whisky distillery was established. We got a half bottle of some very nice single malt from muscatel casks. The staff were happy to welcome Layla into the shop (quite a leap of faith on their part, but she did not cause any mayhem), and showed me their stills and casks. The distillery has its own hydro electric plant linked to the river, which provides for all their electric needs, and exports to the grid as well.
