FromNorth Point Distillery, you can see the perilous Pentland Firth – a channel to be navigatedwith great care. For hundreds of years, ships requiring safe passage signalled ashore, summoning the most skilled of seafarers (known as the North Coast Pilots) to come aboard to guide them through the channel. Every so often a ship could not or would not stop, and several pilots found themselves whisked away from Caithness on an unforeseen voyage to the Caribbean – the birthplace of rum. northpointdistillery.com www.greatbritishfoodawards.com 22
