Pop-up whisky shop opens

By Martin Booth  Monday Nov 16, 2020

An “experimental Scottish off licence” and tasting room has opened offering whisky, gin and rum from north of the border.

West Highland Distillers is the first shop to open in a new pop-up space on Whiteladies Road that used to be a scooter shop.

“Go on… ‘av a dram!” entices the sign outside; while inside, the shelves are packed with liquids from across Scotland.
