TOMINTOUL, Banffshire. ITULLO! We're playing snowballs up here. There's a blizzard blowing and the snow is several inches deep. But we don't mind.

The party I am with has been touring the Scotch whisky distilleries and for some reason we don't seem to notice the cold.

Tomintoul (1,160 ft.) is the second highest village in Scotland, and after visiting nine distilleries in three daya we're not so low ourselves.

If you're feeling cold I'll tell you how to make a bottle of whisky for yourself. It's quite legal if you go about it the right way. First you may buy a distiller's licence for. £10 and then you build £1 three-bedroom house.
