From Gareth Croll, festival co-ordinator: "We can't wait to hit the road again this year and bring the Scottish national whisky festival to some of our favourite parts of the country. 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.
"This year we’ve gone all out and promise to deliver our biggest festival series to date - do not miss it, see you there!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
