A victim of neglect and economic gloom, it wasn’t long before the distillery fell into disrepair. It was this apparition that persuaded him to reverse this punitive measure and erect a distillery at an old smugglers’ cave in the hamlet of Craighouse in 1810. She berated him over the lack of the golden liquid on the island.
