Whisky Galore!

The true story of the cargo ship SS Politician running aground off the coast of Eriskay in 1941 and the ensuing battle between the Excise Men and the locals trying to salvage the lucrative cargo, that of 50,000 cases of Whisky. The shipwreck and its cargo was like manna from heaven to the Islanders, whose island was totally dry, without any type of alcohol, which some would say is part of the life blood of the Scottish Islands!
