## Whisky Distilling in the Highlands and Islands: missing pieces of our post-
medieval archaeology – ONLINE EVENT
In this University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute seminar,
Darroch Bratt, PhD candidate, will discuss how the archaeology of whisky
distilling, both legal and illicit, fits into our understanding of the post-
medieval Highlands and Islands.
Drawing on historical and archaeological evidence Bratt will demonstrate how
his PhD research has attempted to integrate the distilling of whisky into the
archaeology of the region and how the historical archaeology of distilling
fits into an expanding understanding of rural commercial practice. The huge
variety in the archaeology of illicit distilling will be explored and it will
be shown that early licensed distilling represents an almost untapped
archaeological resource in the region.
