Bowmore Distillery, in the heart of the village of Bowmore beside Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay. It has its own maltings, so the pagodas are not just for show. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

My Dad was ground crew during #WW2 & told me many odd stories. They once lost a squadron of Mosquitos not to enemy fire but to a tropical storm in the desert. Hailstones the size of golf balls smashed the airframes to pieces. It couldn't be reported as it was bad for morale.
