25 A STORY IS TOLD of Donald, a revered ghillie in years gone by on a certain loch or our acquaintance. It was a bad morning for trout, the water a glassy calm. Donald toiled all morning at the oars while his cargo of two London businessmen caught nothing. As lunchtime neared, Donald began to look forward to the lustrous sherry-gold depths of The Macallan Malt Whisky which was the customary reward for a deserving ghillie. But the otiose Sassenachs had other ideas. No fish, Donald, they cried, Then no whisky! Donald said nothing, and ate his lunch at some remove. But the iron had entered his soul. The wind rose. And all afternoon while every other boat on the loch was landing an almost miraculous draught of trout, Donald rowed his clients slowly up and down the one unruffled stretch of water. When evening came, he deposited his fishless clients on the bank, and surveyed them gravely as they rifled through their treasuries of insult, goggling like the trout they had so singly failed to capture. Nae Macallan. said Donald at last. Nae fish! And rowed off into the gloaming.
