She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

In this episode of the distillerytours.scot podcast we speak to Libby-Jo Dempster, Visitor Centre Team Leader at Tomatin Distillery.

Libby-Jo tells us about Tomatin’s long and illustrious history, once the largest distillery in the world in the mid 70s it was producing some 12.5million litres of alcohol in a year!

The 23 stills used back then have since become a more modest 6 - with the focus of the distillery now very much quality over quantity as evidenced in the variety of delicious malts Libby-Jo also talks us through.
