Great idea!

Fortunately the writer had a very systematic numbering system, so it was just a case of wget and some perl, so I've already got the data in a nice CSV file. I'll send the resulting CSV file with names and lat/lon separately to avoid overloading the list. If anyone else is particularly interested, please get in touch. Note that the lat/lon values are not particularly accurate. For example, the Talisker distillery on Skye (which is one of the ones that I've placed already in FG), is about 500m too far south by the lat/lons provided. I would suggest therefore retaining the distillery placements I've already provided, as they are likely more accurate. -Stuart -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.

Cheers, Martin. On a wee point of order, I noticed on the Whisky map, a reference to Bushmills, which of course, all Irish and Scottish souls will confirm is not a whisky, but a whiskey. For the pedantic, the real name for the the magic brew in the Gàidhlig language is Uisge Beatha, meaning Water of Life, and pronounced ooshguh beha. The dreaded English who could barely by this time utter one word correctly, far less two, decided to call it by the first name only, which the mistakenly spelled as whisky. Others, probably even more dim-witted than my neighbours, compounded the error and the confusion by adding an e to make is whiskey. I commend you on your choice of the delightful Speyside single malt Balvenie, but for non-connoisseurs, I recommend the cheaper, but wonderful blend of malts known as The Famous Grouse Alasdair (with appologies for this post being even more off-topic than Martin's) -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
