Lightbulb Whisky Galore bottles fetch £12,050

Quote:
Two bottles of whisky salvaged from the shipwreck that inspired the book and film Whisky Galore have been sold for £12,050 after an online auction.

They were part of the cargo on the SS Politician, which sank off Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides in 1941.

Scotch Whisky Auctions, which sold the bottles, said they had gone to a buyer in the UK after worldwide interest.
