Summary

Whisky-making in Mull.

The contributor's grandfather used to tell of a still his uncles (named MacLucas) had, hidden in the moor where three boundaries met. His grandfather, who was a boy at the time, went out with their supper and stayed there all night while they made the whisky. They were never caught. The measurement they used was called 'an cana donn'.
