Neil Patrick Harris enjoys trip to Scotland sampling whisky at Ardnamurchan Distillery

Neil Patrick Harris stunned fans as he shared a snap enjoying a tipple from Ardnamurchan Distillery.

The How I Met Your Mother actor is celebrating one year of his newsletter and is offering one lucky fan an all-expenses paid whisky trip around Scotland in honour of the occasion. The 49-year-old actor gave fans a cheeky smirk in the snap, as he raised his glass in celebration of his work accomplishment.

The A Series of Unfortunate Events star has been visiting the UK over the summer, as he was spotted filming Doctor Who in Bristol alongside David Tennant. The father-of-two joined the cast of the BBC sci-fi show for the highly anticipated 60th anniversary special, seeing Scots actor Tennant return to the role that made his career for the epic episode.

After announcing Harris would be joining the show, returning showrunner Russell T Davies said: “It’s my huge honour to open our studio doors for the mighty Neil Patrick Harris… but who, why, what is he playing? You’ll just have to wait. But I promise you, the stuff we’re shooting now is off the scale. Doctor beware!”

This isn't the first time Harris has been spotted in Scotland recently, after the star delighted staff at an Edinburgh escape room in June. The Uncoupled star took part in an escape room at Locked In Edinburgh, the capital's only escape room company that bases the challenges in real rooms, and not purpose built sets.

Writing on a local community Facebook page, the company said: "Last week we at Locked In Edinburgh escape rooms were a little star struck to say the least.

"If we were to choose a famous celeb to come play our rooms, it would have to be Neil Patrick Harris #howimetyourmother #doogiehowser (soon to be released Netflix series - Uncoupled).

"Played it super cool on the outside at hosting not just 1, but 2 games for him... Really on the inside we were totally fangirling! He was super stoked to play, as were we. Not to mention just what a lovely, down to earth bloke he is.

"So glad he has good taste in escape rooms! If you ask us nicely, we might even reveal which bit excited him the most!"
