    Burning peat in a distillery is not like burning peat or coal in your own fire, there's legislation and processes that need to be applied to prevent the soot and toxic eflux from entering the air we breathe. Once again your 'research' has stopped at forming an opinion, once again your opinion is miles off the truth.
    Unlike you I have seen the smoke pouring out of the chimneys of the Maltings in Port Ellen.
    They operate 24/7 but despite this it is not enough to keep up with the demand from all the whisky distilleries on Islay resulting in some of whisky distilleries on Islay having to get the barley for their peated whisky malted at Maltings on the Mainland.
    There is a Maltings near Inverness.
    I have also seen smoke pouring out the Bruichladdich Distillery chimney as I walked past it and it was certainly it scrubbed clean.
    It is not my opinion. It is fact.
    On 30th June 2022 we were on the Calmac ferry coming into Port Ellen pier.
    It was a calm evening and a local Islay born resident standing next to me said to me “There is the Maltings burning the ‘good’ Islay peat” as the smoke poured upwards out of the Port Ellen Maltings chimneys.

    I enclose a photograph of the smoke belching out of the Port Ellen Maltings in the rear of the photograph.
    On that day the wind was blowing from the East but on Islay the prevailing wind is from the South West. https://m.facebook.com/photo?fbid=78...73493546055009

    Not only was last Tuesday night the coldest March night fir 8 years it was also the coldest night of this winter so far.
    This winter has been relatively mild apart from a very cold snap two weeks before Christmas.

    Stop Press.
    Last Tuesday night’s lowest minimum temperature in March for 8 years has been beaten.
    The following night the minimum temperature at Altnaharra in North West Scotland was minus 16c (3F) which makes it the lowest March temperature recorded in the U.K. for 8 years. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation
    Incidentally Altnaharra was the also the coldest place in the U.K.yesterday (Thursday) and the sunniest.
    I hope that you enjoy your golf.
    At least the sun will have got to work melting the frost on the fairways and greens.

    Thanks for your information.
    I noticed a headline from the Courier at 1.36pm stating that the Tay Road Bridge was closed causing traffic chaos in the centre of Dundee.
    The Tay Road Bridge authorities are going to have to stop all people walking across the bridge to prevent people threatening to jump off the bridge.
    Which end of the Tay Road Bridge was the person jumping off the bridge.

    No idea.....does seem to be far more people threatening to jump AFF than there used to be.

    They wud be doing well to dodge the traffic to get to the railings.

    They have Samaritan adverts on a few of the lampies on the bridge, I doubt anyone who was that way inclined wud pay much attention but you never no.

    What made it worse was there's roadworks fife side heading north and down to one lane so you couldn't at first turn right and head to Perth or go right round circle, traffic queued back to st Michael's at one point.

    I'm assuming he or she was talked Doon.....which is the main thing.

    Several years ago whilst my wife and I were on the Calmac ferry sailing from Kennacraig to Islay I happened to speak to a person who was employed by the RNLI who was travelling to Islay for his work.
    At the time it had recently been mentioned that the Broughty Ferry lifeboat was one of the busiest lifeboats in the U.K and coming from I mentioned this fact to him.
    He told me that a lot of the time it was the Broughty Ferry inshore lifeboat who were rescuing people from the Tay including people threatening to jump off the Tay Road Bridge or did in fact jump off.
    This person told us that if a person jumped off the Dundee end of the Tay Road Bridge it was probably a cry for help as the water is shallow at the Dundee end of the Tay Road Bridge and they will likely be rescued from the river.
    However a person jumping off the Newport end of the Tay Road Bridge will probably drown as the water is a lot deeper.
