In this episode we join Grizzel up in the shieling where she’s busy making illicit whisky. While we learn about the importance of whisky to Highland culture, Grizzel learns about just how potent homebrew can be. A funny, engaging and delightful delve into history!

In this series of drama-documentaries with the help of Ullapool Museum, archaeologists and historical experts we’re bringing the people and stories of Balblair and Inverlael back to life. 8 snapshots, re-imagined moments in Highland history which have, until recently, been HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
