Summary
Illicit whisky, Catholic persecution and solidarity in Glen Livet.
There was one place where the excise never stamped out the illicit whisky and that was Glen Livet. They were all Catholics and would never tell on each other. There was a strip down to Banff that remained Catholic despite persecution. The men had to go down in a ditch or on their knees to "give honour".
