'National Scotch Day' 🥃 27 July

CST Activities – National Scotch Day 🇬🇧🥃

Today we're celebrating National Scotch Day with a journey through Scotland's history, traditions and famous landmarks. We'll discover how Scotch whisky became one of the world's best-known drinks, learn about its royal connections, and reminisce about Scotland's people, music and beautiful landscapes.

Along the way we'll test our memories of Scotland, recognise famous Scots, complete traditional Scottish song titles and take a scenic trip along Scotland's lochs, canals and waterways and walks before finishing with two classic songs: The Skye Boat Song and I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers.

Whether you've visited Scotland, have Scottish roots, or simply enjoy its rich culture, there's something for everyone to share today.
