A SCOTTISH festival dedicated to celebratin­g the worlds of whisky and traditiona­l music will return to Inverness this summer.

Organisers of the Scottish National Whisky Festival have this week announced their schedule for 202425, with the first event set to take place at Eden Court on Saturday, June 29.

This year’s Inverness edition will again give festival-goers the opportunit­y to sample hundreds of whiskies from world-renowned distilleri­es and independen­t bottlers, as well as exploring guest spirits and experiment­al flavours across the exhibitor lineup.

Elsewhere, “worldclass” mixologist­s will be at hand to create bespoke cocktails across pop-up bars.

The festival will also feature a specially curated bill of live music and seminars from celebrated Scottish performers, speakers and industry experts.

Gareth Croll, festival co-ordinator, said: “We can’t wait to hit the road and bring the Scottish National Whisky Festival to Inverness.

“As always, we are excited to partner with some of Scotland’s most celebrated distillers, bottlers, bars and artists to create an unforgetta­ble celebratio­n of Scottish culture today.”

Following the Inverness event, the festival will move on to the Music

Hall in Aberdeen on September 14 and

The Biscuit Factory in Edinburgh on October
