Contemporary whisky exhibition to go on show at Scotland's National Museum

An exhibition of contemporary whisky will go on show at National Museums of Scotland.
A selection of bottled whiskies, packaging and related material have been acquired to reflect the 21st century industry will go on display, with 14 objects in total.
Whisky is the UK's largest food and drinks export reaching 166 international markets and shaping perceptions of Scotland around the world, and new distilleries keep opening with the industry vying to become more sustainable.
Acquisitions have been made which represent the entire country, from the Scottish Borders to the islands of the Inner Hebrides and Thurso, the most northern town on the British mainland.
A bottle acquired for the collection from Isle of Rasaay Distillery is textured with fossil details from the region's geological topography.
Torabhaig Distillery's Allt Gleann Single Malt Whisky, was named after one of the burns that provide the distillery with spring water. In Gaelic,"Allt" means stream or burn and "Gleann" a glen or a valley.
The slogan "Shaped by Skye" further emphasises the narrative that the whisky has been forged by the island's rugged landscape.
Laura Scobie, Doctoral Researcher at the University of Edinburgh and National Museums Scotland, said: "I'm delighted to add such fascinating examples of material culture associated with contemporary Scottish whisky to the national collection, from actual bottles of whisky to surprising artistic responses from local makers.
"These items not only provide an insight into one of our leading industries but reveal a picture of Scotland in the early 21st century that will now be preserved for generations to come."

Come for the whisky, stay for the roaring fires and pub grub says Rosalind Erskine. A sleepy Highland village is not the first place you’d expect to see the famous faces of Naomi Campbell, Sadie Frost and Kate Moss, but guests at the re-opening of the 19th-century Craigellachie Hotel did just that. The models and celebrities may have left, but the style and charm have remained.
