Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie also attended the visit on Saturday. Sylvester said: “It was a resounding success and fantastic to receive the seal of approval from the High Commissioner of St Lucia.

“He had not been to Scotland since he took office and I haven’t had a visit like this in the seven years I have been here.“It was a great day.”

Ms. Baillie said: “It was a joy to visit Island Slice at the weekend to find out more about the rum that Sylvester distills at Dalreoch.
