We drove up to Oban and took the ferry to South Uist in the Inner Hebrides (about eight hours or more). There's a causeway that joins the three islands, South Uist, Beneculla and North Uist. From North Uist you take a ferry to Skye (an hour). We stayed at Portree and there I tried the local malt, Talisker. A balance of sweetness and peatiness. I drank rather a lot.
