• Scapa Distillery Tour

    22. juli 2019, Skottland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Had a quiet morning while Norma and Emma went swimming.
    Quick lunch then out to the distillery for a 2pm tour. It was only Sarah and I with the tour lady. There was no photography rule for all of the tour.
    The Still room looks down Scapa Flow. It is where the British fleet anchored during both world wars. The warship The Royal Oak was hit & sank by a German U Boat that had managed to sneak into the estuary. From a crew of 1234 men, 834 were killed or died later of wounds.
    The Tour Lady had historical information about the Italian chapel and other events in Orkney.
