Let us tell you a story…
This year has been designated Scotland’s ‘year of stories’, celebrating the tales and memories that reflect who we are, and shape how others see us.
We thought that would be an opportunity to dig into the rich tradition of whisky story-telling, and gathered contributions from two Scottish musicians, story-tellers – and whisky lovers.
Hamish Napier
First up is Hamish Napier, a musician from Strathspey in the heart of Scotland’s whisky country. He is also one of the storytellers for Badenoch Heritage, a community group that promotes tourism in the area through its rich cultural heritage – including its history of whisky production.
Hamish has kindly provided us with two stories from the Badenoch – the Storylands project, which are all available from badenochstorylands.com, where you can also download the Storylands app to unlock the area’s fascinating history, local stories and inspiring music. Hamish has also supplied music from his album The Woods.
