Introducing No
Corners to Hide, a amazing series inspired by the legends of
Islay. |

Frank Quitely reinterprets this
legendary story by paying homage to myth which has
shaped the village of
Bowmore and too, our distillery home.
As the story goes, back in 1837, on a
clear winter’s evening, the devil visited the church in
Bowmore. This is no ordinary church. Strikingly round in shape, purposely
built, in preparation for such a visit as there were no corners in which the
devil could hide. Despite the best efforts of the local congregation who chased
the devil from the church to the Bowmore distillery
where they bolted the gates and locked the doors. But search proved fruitless
and the devil had vanished. That night, The Maid of Islay, a small paddle
steamer used for transporting Bowmore whisky, was
loaded with casks for the mainland.
The devil was never found, but it’s
believed that he hid himself in a cask, where ironically, there too are no
corners to hide. |
