The weather in Glasgow was consistently cloudy and wet. We walked into the main part of town, Buchanan Street, which was a bit like Martin Place with the mall going up hill and shops spanning either side of it. We did a little bit of shopping, walked through some dismal looking Christmas markets and then found a little pub called the Piper Whisky Bar to eat lunch at. Teresa had fish & chips, Michele had tomato soup and Scott had a steak & ale pot pie.

Michele had read that a local recommendation was a whisky tasting at a place called the Pot Still, so after we ate we walked a little way and found it on the corner of a laneway. Inside was a bar boasting at least 750 types of whisky! We found out that we should have booked ahead to get the full experience (which would be somebody to sit with you and explain each whisky), but we just chose a flight each, which was six 20ml pours and came with a sheet explaining each type.

We settled in to a table upstairs and began our tasting journey. None of us are really whisky connoisseurs, but it was interesting to taste the different ones from around the country. There was a young couple sitting on the next table who were from NSW and we ended up talking with them for quite a while.

Dinner was at a restaurant called Turtle Bay, where we enjoyed espresso martinis and yummy dishes. Then off to bed ready for our drive to Inverness tomorrow. Good nicht!
