A1. I hope whisky counts as we have definitely been indulging in a fair amount of that during this time at home. Very much helps with our well being! Some favorites: @Laphroaig @LagavulinWhisky @Bruichladdich @BalvenieUS

A1. Happiness begins with a cup of tea šµ
A cup of Pekoetea Scottish Breakfast Tea helps us relax and stay positive at the moment https://t.co/ePOAq9HVI9. Made even more perfect when paired with some Walkers @edinburghcastle shortbread https://t.co/iLkjrjJE81 #ScotlandHour

Happy #ScotlandHour! We hope you're safe and well!
Weāre loving reading works by local authors at the moment. Despite the fact that @FestivalJo 2020 was cancelled this year, weāve loved seeing what our local #Caithness authors have been creating.

In non-literary news, we all love a cheeky #GinAndTonic with #CroftersTears, from
@iceandfiregin
. Itās a small #Caithness distillery which makes delicious gin and could probably use a shoutout in the current situation.
