The Royal Burgh of Campbeltown lies at the southern tip of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and once boasted over 30 distilleries, which led it to be known as 'the whisky capital of the world'.

Scotland's small islands – from Arran, Jura and Mull in the West, to Orkney in the North – produce whiskies of various styles.

They, like the beautiful countryside they spring from, will provide something to suit everyone's taste.
