Martin Compston parties in Edinburgh with cast and crew of hit show The Rig

Scottish star Martin Compston was back in the capital this weekend enjoying some quality time with the cast and crew of his current project The Rig.

The actor shared images of the group's trip to Johnnie Walker Princes Street, which he has made regular trips to since first being spotted there back in 2021.

The Line of Duty star even popped onto the stage to pose in the famous 'Striding Man' top hat and cane with one of the performers at the popular capital whisky experience.

He then shared images of him and his friends posing for a photo in front of the incredible views found from the venue's rooftop bar.

Martin wrote: “Another sensational day out at @johnniewalkerprincesstreet thank you to the amazing staff for the loveliest welcome back to Edinburgh for some of The Rig 2 team.

"Can’t recommend the tour highly enough before ending up with cocktails at one of the best views in the capital @1820rooftopbar. Be seeing you again soon."

The Scottish Mussel star recently treated fans to a story about a funny but intimidating meeting he had with Sir Sean Connery in the capital.

The Line of Duty star attended a dinner at Edinburgh Castle alongside the late Mr Connery who made the night slightly, and hilariously, award for one poor chef, which you can read about here.
