“ essential reading for anyone fond of a wee dram”
“ If you love the wide range of Scottish scenery and a dram or two of Scotch whisky, Spirit of Place will inspire you. … It’ s a sumptuous and unusual coffee table tome.”
"Spirit of Place is a lavishly illustrated tour of 50 classic distilleries - many you've heard of and some you haven't. The coffee table book explores the heritage of moor and peat, from the Lowlands to the brooding, misty islands, and Mr. MacLean serves up dram after dram of useful detail ... But it's the captivating photographs by Lara Platman and Allan MacDonald that gave me a implacable thirst. ... This is armchair travel at its best - even if it's only as far as the cabinet for a refill."
“ superb regional guide to 60 leading distilleries ... Shots of the distilleries combine with wonderful landscape photography.”
