Scotland’s top squash player, Lisa Aitken, still has big ambitions in the sport but is already mapping out her future career in the whisky trade.
The world No. 38 and three-time Scottish champion continues to climb the world rankings but will also begin a brewing and distilling degree at Heriot-watt University in September. “This is something I am passionate about,” explained Aitken.
“My dad is a collector and he has taught me a lot. From a young age, I’ve been going to auctions and visiting distilleries with him.
“My hobby could be a career for me, and that’s really exciting.”
