Comment posted Jura Distillery waits for loch to recover from drought and 24/7 production period by Lowry.
And of course no amount of wind turbines on Jura, or anywhere else in Scotland, is going to help resolve this problem. However, they may be useful for keeping the midges away. A new marketing strategy perhaps?

‘Buffoon’ – as suggested by Simon I believe – seems to fit both personae. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Agreed – I often find that some folk muddle UKIP with the BNP. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
However, sometimes they do go a bit wonky – I’ve seen them add several at one time and then on a couple of occasions they have subtracted ticks. It did happen last night. To be honest, I only see it as a bit of fun so don’t feel it’s anything to get worked up about. - James Robb, as the cordite clears
So, you condone a protest that required the police to protect someone; that person had to stay in a place of safety until a police van could provide transport; a taxi driver was unable to provide transport because of potential damage to his vehicle; and where two people were arrested. What a strange person you are! - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
Hey ho – off we go. Feet up and pass the popcorn please.

Crikey, we have more than enough rain down here in Welsh Wales for everyone!! I always thought that the West coast and Kintyre in particular was always wet. At least it was before I left for the big wide world

Surely you remember that May is generally a much drier month in Argyll, with a history of problems with local water supplies at that time of year?

I recall in the 50′s and 60,s in the Summer in Islay production would stop and distillery workers would go to cut peats for use in the kilns in the coming season or would be cleaning the lade (“the river”) carrying the water to the distillery.Both jobs were Olympic standard in exposure to midges and clegs.
In addition maintenance would be carried out including whitewashing and I remember distillery workers whitewashing the Round Church in Bowmore as well as the distillery!!
Non-production tasks such as warehousing and despatch of casks to the Mainland would continue.
Barley was floor malted and the heat of the summer made this more difficult. Another reason for a break from production.
