We taste the famous "Old Pulteney" whisky, from the very north of Scotland. Co-Host, Erin MacGillivray-O'Neill talks to us from the Isle of Mull where she visits the beautifully set Mausoleum of former NSW Colonial Governor, Lachlan Macquarie.

Then Erin is off to MacGillivray country around Inverness, Loch Ness, and Culloden where she traces the ruins of houses destroyed when Clan MacGillivray crofters were evicted from their ancestral lands only 130 years ago.

And then to the fabled "Stone of Swords" the Clach an Airm revered in Clan Folklore. Erin was first on-the-spot to report that the stone came literally within inches of destruction as giant trees fell each side of it during the fierce Storm Amy.
