In the 17th Century, deep in the mountain glens of Scotland the Highland Chief protects his Clan and territory. He is both ruler and general, in a time where the sovereign had no authority beyond the lowlands of Scotland. With small-scale whisky distilling being an integral part of Highland life, eventually the taxman arrived to claim his share for the crown. To avoid the crippling tax, many whisky stills were driven to remote Highland glens, where they still operate to this day. Deep in a remote Scottish glen, the Chief watches over his illicit whisky still. The stills were kept small- dismantled and hidden easily, should the authorities arrive. A terrier and a border collie keep watch to ensure the contraband remains safe.
