This festive season, a hugely popular Scottish gin is bringing a little slice of island life to the capital. Isle of Harris Gin has announced a duo of Winter Cèilidhs in Edinburgh at the Thistle Street Bar in the New Town.
Thought to have originated in the Outer Hebrides, the traditional event simply means “a visit” in the island's native Gaelic language. And though it's now become synonymous with kilts and Highland dancing, the brand is stripping it back to its roots with a much more relaxed and informal gathering.
A spokesperson for the Hebridean gin firm said: "The Winter Cèilidh celebrates the warmth of connection at the coldest time of year, and the essential ingredients are easy, good company, good music, and of course, good drink."
