ailidh mal...

Aildih Mal really is a true story. One of the last of the Kintail “Free Foresters”, Ailidh Mal earned is living by making his own whisky, much to the annoyance of the soldiers who tried their best to stop him. Ailidh Mal never harmed them but always out-witted them. Sometimes he even escaped across the river on a pair of stilts! His secret weapon was a great big drunk cow.

This film was made by children and adults in Lochcarron and Balmacara with the help of a team from WHA.
