POLLY: THE TRUE STORY BEHIND WHISKY GALORE (PB)

Early on a wartime winter’s morning in 1941, the 8,000-ton cargo ship SS Politician ran aground in the beautiful but treacherous seas of Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Among its cargo were 260,000 bottles of whisky destined for the American market - a godsend to the local Eriskay islanders whose home-grown supply had dried up due to wartime rationing. In this book, the author of Calum’s Road tells the true story of one of the most bizarre events ever to taken place in Scottish waters.
