Edinburgh's Summerhall is set to host a huge gathering of whisky fans as the capital celebrates Scotland's national drink.
The National Whisky Festival of Scotland will come to Summerhall on Saturday July 18 for the first time following popular previous editions in the city.
Festival-goers will enjoy a familiar format with two extensive three-and-a-half hour sessions of unique whisky tastings, pop-up food, drink and craft stalls, and entertainment - including specially-curated live music, and masterclasses held by expert brand ambassadors.
The experts will be bringing with them an extensive range of incredible whiskies to try.
Guests to the Summerhall will also be treated to an outdoor Cocktail Courtyard with pop up street food stalls, outdoor beer bar and refreshing whisky-inspired cocktails.
A statement from NWF organisers promises:
"Guests can expect a real spirited, fun and relaxed day, and rest assured that this is no stuffy suit and tie affair only for whisky experts.
"From seasoned palettes to adventurous newcomers, absolutely everybody is welcome.
"You won't be sniffed at for enjoying whisky your way, nor will you have to pay through the nose to sample some of the finest whiskies the world has to offer."
Tickets cost £35 and include entry to one three and a half hour session, as well as a Unique NWF branded Glencairn crystal nosing glass. Under 25's enjoy a £10 discount.
This year the sessions take place at 12.00 and 4.15pm.

The full line-up and music/masterclass programmes for the sessions will be announced in the run up to day.
