uses the same picture as shown on the flat
           barrel flask but the Edinburgh Castle is
           completely different. McLech made one other
           shape of flask, the leaf Flask. On the right are
           two of many examples but the only Scottish
           Castles I know about.

            It's about time we had some jugs so I will start
           with five jugs from English company,
           Lindisfarne. It may sound Scottish but
           Lindisfarne, otherwise known as Holy Island, is
           an island off the coast of Northumberland.
           Lindisfarne Mead is made on the island at St Aidan's Winery. We start
           with the usual Balmoral and Edinburgh Castles (2) but then we have
           three different ones, Stirling, Floors &Blair.
