The Legend
of St. Ives

Legend has it that in May
1813 during the Napoleonic Wars, a young French soldier - St. Ives - was
captured by his British enemies.
Spared execution due to
his knowledge of the English language, St. Ives was selected for special
employment and imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. During his imprisonment,
St. Ives met and fell in love with a young visitor to the castle, Flora
Gilchrist.
Following his escape from
prison, he evaded recapture, ultimately making a daring escape from his
captors by hot air balloon. The balloon was carried westward by the east
winds, eventually crashing on Loch Indaal, upon whose shores stands
Bowmore Distillery.
St. Ives was rescued from
the icy waters by the True Blooded Yankee, a formidable American brig o'
war, that was holding Bowmore under siege. Later released to safety, St.
Ives was to be re-united with his beloved Flora.
