Sir,
Last Saturday I opened the Arran Banner and read that the Isle of Arran Distillery is up for the best brewery/ distillery tour category in the Scottish Outdoor Leisure Awards.
At the same moment, I received notification by post from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) that it has reached its determination to grant a licence to the Arran Lochranza Distillery to discharge up to 60,000 litres per day of mixed distillery effluent over 2 x 3-hour periods each day into Kilbrannan Sound. It is proposed that effluent from the distillery is transported to the outfall head by road tanker.
