This was not an easy or safe job. Rewards
for turning in smugglers and stills increased and penalties rose. Smugglers
began traveling in packs and carrying weapons. George Smith's Glenlivet whisky
was the most sought after, forcing him to sleep with 2 guns for protection.
You can still travel many of the old
smuggling trails today. Some companies, like the Glenlivet distillery, offer
tours giving visitors the chance to explore the history of the smugglers.
If you're planning a break in Scotland with
a difference, why not follow the Malt Whisky Trail during your stay at a
Scottish castle to rent?
Choosing castle rental in Scotland is a
great way of making your break more luxurious and memorable as you tour the
region finding out more about one of its most famous exports.
