CELTIC Connections has released a limited-edition whisky bottle, Grace Notes, in honour of its 30th anniversary.
The 18-day festival is under way after an opening ceremony in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall featuring performances from the National Pipe Band of Scotland and Scottish jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie.
The newly released whisky has been taken from three single casks distilled at Teaninich Distillery in the highlands of Scotland and bottled by Glasgow-based independent bottler Caskade.
