Melancholic, dark music. A stormy classical composition for string orchestra. This was inspired while on the Isle of Arran, walking along the beach on a very dark and stormy afternoon in Midwinter. This piece features various contrapuntal techniques to build the sound of the tempest I have attempted to depict in this Scottish tone poem.

This episode contains:
- Dram in a box, where we try rice whisky. That's right, rice whisky! From Dusty Barrel Distillery; 
- A summary of all we learned on our recent trip around the south (and north) of the state; and
- Fresh Meat, where we crack into some Arran whisky that makes us wish we had more whisky like it

All this and more (including Shakespeare and Wellerman rip offs as well as a whole lot of Emily).
