Whisky Galore in Portsoy!
Scottish author, Compton Mackenzie, published the novel Whisky Galore in 1947. The story was inspired by the sinking of the cargo ship SS Politician off Eriskay in 1941. It was later adapted for cinema in a 1949 Ealing comedy.
 This newly-adapted Whisky Galore! film is directed by Gillies MacKinnon, and stars Gregor Fisher, Eddie Izzard, Sean Biggerstaff, Naomi Battrick, Kevin Guthrie, Ellie Kendrick, and James Cosmo.
 The new film was shot mainly on location around Portsoy and Pennan.
