Thank you for sharing with us. I was having a not so good day and when I realized you were taking us on a tour of your famous bothy, it made me smile. I sat down and with a glencairn in hand I enjoyed every minute of it. I was always curious about it. What a great studio/man cave. I think that old building might add a point or two to any scotch sampled inside it. Thanks again Ralfy!

What a wonderful setting to enjoy an occasional dram!! Sadly here in the US most building never have a chance to develop any where near that much character and charm. Before most get anywhere near that old someone either tears them down and builds something new, or completely remodels them so that there's no sign of their original charm left. I love old buildings, so enjoyed the tour of the bothy all the more. I'd love a tour of some of the rest of the property some day.
