Scotland

Scotland, my home country, is most often associated with whisky, golf, dramatic landscapes, bagpipes and a strong sense of heritage.

Yes, you're never far from a distillery or brewery, as the country is home to some of the world's best-known drink brands. But there are also lots of smaller, independent producers making whisky, rum, vodka, gin and beer that are well worth investigating.

There is so much more to explore. Scotland makes everything from smoked salmon, biscuits, ships, kilts, salt, ceramics and tweed, to name but a few. It's a nation with a long history of innovation and creativity, and you can visit brands that are at the cutting edge or drawing inspiration from years gone by.​
