    1. You're right there Kim,
      I took some Australian friends who were visiting us this summer to the Royal Lochnagar Distillery on our way to see Balmoral Castle.
      The photo shows one of the two small copper pot stills for making whisky.
      And yes of course we had to buy some... it would be rude not to ;D
      Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by

    1. Hehe... your comment made me chuckle ;D
      It is one of two small gleaming copper pot stills for making whisky.
      I love to find something just a little different for Sunday Photo and I'm pleased this shot has caused the reaction it has.
      Thanks for stopping by... have a great Sunday ;D

    1. Chocolate or whisky? That is the question.... ;D
      Well, in this case it was a whisky distillery and this photo is of one of two small copper stills at the Royal Lochnagar Distillery which just happens to be neighbours to Balmoral Castle. Just saying....
      Thanks again for hosting this great linky Darren,
      Enjoy your Sunday

    1. Bingo Kirsty!
      You win by guessing correctly.
      During the summer I had visitors from Australia and one of our day trips was to the Royal Lochnagar Distillery. It is situated beside her Majesty the Queen’s Scottish Home, Balmoral Castle at Crathie, half way between the villages of Ballater and Braemar. I hope to write a blog about it soon.
      Well done and thanks for visiting my place.
      Have a great Sunday ;D

  7. Love the way the light is refracted off and onto the back of the wall! I won't hazard a guess as to what it is as I am stumped #mysundayphoto

    1. Be stumped no more... it's a whisky still ;D
      We visited the Royal Lochnagar Distillery over the summer when we had Australian friends staying.
      This still is one of two small stills on display and I loved the copper,and light too.
      I thought it might cause a stir on Silent Sundays linky... and I wasn't wrong.
      Thanks for visiting and leaving a great comment.
      Enjoy your day

      I like to throw something of a mystery into the Silent Sunday linky.
      It certainly got people thinking for this one.

  10. After reading all the comments above I now know what it is! I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise (although I sort of guessed it might have been related to a distillery!).

    1. I posted last night Victoria, but didn't get a chance to reply to anyone until this morning, so that left a little time for the puzzle ;D
      I'm glad your kind of guessed it. I've had fun with this linky.
      I hope your Sunday is going well... enjoy!

  11. What a glorious shine it has. I neither like the smell nor taste of whisky but always admire the colour. There's a shop in Elgin that has a whisky shop in it, and the price of some of them - woof!! A years salary on a couple of them! My father-in-law enjoyed a dram of malt, so at Christmas we always endeavored to find him unusual ones that he hadn't had before and it was thought even better if the bottle was bonny too :D
    Enjoy the rest of your day Denise ((hugs)) :o) xox

    1. I sure could do with whomever polishes these stills to pop over to my place for a wee bit of dusting. The place would be gleaming in no time! ;D
      I don't indulge in whisky drinking usually, although it has been known... I know for a fact that I don't like the smokey ones. They taste like you're drinking from an ash tray! As to the price... well yes they are expensive, but when you think they have to mature for 12 years before being sold, I suppose that's justified.
      My hubby likes his single malt, so there's never a problem when there's a present needed and we can't think what to buy. I like the ornate bottles too.
      The photo of the wee still above is wee... the big brother's (real working stills) are in an area that you can't use your camera... although I was soooooooo tempted!
      They are huge and look so impressive.
      Have an enjoyable day too Mo ((hugs to you)) xoxo

  17. Part of a whiskey still?! I would have never guessed. Very pretty, actually. :)

    1. The still that is in my photo is a small display model. In fact there are two but I thought the single still looked the best for this entry.
      I wasn't allowed to take a photo of the real BIG working stills. They are brilliant and so shiny. A gorgeous colour too ;D
      Great to have you visit Rita, take care and I'll be popping over to your place soon.
      Have a great week xoxo

    1. I agree Fozia,
