A much better map exists on the Malt Maps website: www.maltmaps.com/apex/f?p=2348:1:4005639578978151::NO:RP::. I should point out at this juncture, however, that I have created my itinerary based on the data to be found in the excellent ‘Malt Whisky Yearbook’ with the addition of Springbank. Malt Maps includes Breaval based on the above search parameters, which I won’t be visiting, but omits Balvenie and Caol Ila, which I will. I shall be travelling in an anti-clockwise direction, while Michael Jackson in his equally excellent ‘Scotland and its Whiskies’ toured the country in the opposite direction. Otherwise, it is more or less the same route, only in reverse, as he undertook. There are other fairly unavoidable contrasts between our two journeys, however: he used a car, had Harry Cory Wright with him and because of his indomitable industry influence got to visit distilleries I cannot. Also, inferring from the photographs, his journey was taken over a course of months or seasons. Mine will be over long before there is any respite in the wind and rain.
