20 NEWS Glenturret - oldest working distillery When it comes to tradition, it doesn’t get much more traditional than Glenturret Distillery! Being the oldest working distillery in Scotland sees them put an emphasis on the craftmanship involved in making their Single Malt Whisky. From being one of only a handful of distilleries to still cut their spirit by hand and by eye, hand mashing the grist and water in their open mash tun, and even employing two distillery cats as mousers, at Glenturret you get a true sense of how whisky would have been produced in years gone by! When you have a true hand in the outcome and an abundance of provenance it makes the finished product all that more exceptional. Established in 1775, Glenturret’s rich and colourful history means they are brimming with tales from over the years. Whether you want to hear about the days of illicit distilling, and the smugglers who would cleverly outwit the tax man, our “aheadof-her-time” female stillwoman Gracie Gow, or our record-breaking Mouser, there’s a story to intrigue everyone! While celebrating tradition and heritage, The Glenturret Distillery also has one foot in the future and recently launched an exciting new tour; APERTOUR! While it has long been forbidden among whisky distilleries to take pictures inside the distillery walls, The Glenturret has invested in state-of-the-art monitoring technology that allows you to snap away and take those images you have always wanted. Whether you’ve been craving a selfie by the stills, hoping to capture the cask filling, or looking to get that perfect filter on the washbacks, their specially designed tour has a lower capacity to allow you more time to get the snap you want! So get your filters at the ready, zoom right in, and get ready for your perfect shot!

@EdinReporter /EdinReporter edinburghreporter theedinburghreporter.co.uk READER'S PHOTO 21 Reader's Photo This month’s photo is called Castle and Crags and is by Tom Duffin. “Haar presents rare gifts and magical moments for a photographer. If you can get above it at just the right time the scene can be breathtakingly beautiful. Last May I walked up Arthur’s Seat through the cloud in the dark, and my heart raced a little faster as this scene of Edinburgh Castle, The Hub spire and haar-swept crags opened up in front of me. Only thirty seconds later the whole city had disappeared back underneath the chilly blanket.” Tom Duffin is an Edinburgh photographer who also teaches workshops and One-to-One sessions for budding photographers - www.tomduffin.com Your photo featured here by sending to: editor@theedinburghreporter.co.uk Crossword Answers Across: 1 Marble, 5 Set-aside, 9 Impostor, 10 Opera, 11 Electioneer, 13 Soda, 14 Hegemony, 17 Blighter, 18 Uses, 20 Replacement, 23 Graph, 24 Radicals, 25 Creditor, 26 Eleven.
