Whisky was more than just a drink in Highland history; it was medicine, morale, and survival.
In this video, I explore the forgotten medicinal and survival uses of whisky in the Scottish Highlands, from its early monastic origins to 17th-century hillcraft. Discover how Highlanders flavoured whisky with herbs like bog myrtle and bitter vetch, used it as a warming tonic, and treated it with reverence, not just for celebration, but for healing.
