MY family were distillers and farmers between Derry and Donegal. They owned Watts distillery in Derry as well as bottling plants in Letterkenny and Ramelton, and their most famous brand of whiskey was Tyrconnell which is now being made by the distillery in Dundalk.

As far as I can work out, my forebears spent most of their time either hunting, playing polo, shooting or fishing. I suppose I am just two generations too late?!
