Isle of Harris Distillery reopens with 'warm welcome and stocked shelves'
It said that with lockdown measures easing, visitors to the island can “once again share the Harris spirit and story in person… with a warm welcome and stocked shelves waiting for everyone”.
The distillery said its team looks forward to “welcoming the many travellers who have already made the journey to its shores this summer or are making plans to be there very soon”. The tours and canteen will remain closed, and rules in the shop to keep all visitors safe include a one-way system and protective glass screens around the till area.
