scottish castles
There are many castles in Scotland and many of them are commemorated on bottles. Most of the
bottles I have to show you are filled with Scotch, the exceptions being the British Airways Drambuie
Books and the Lindisfarne Mead Jugs. This is not meant to be a comprehensive article as there are
doubtless lots more Scottish Castle bottles out there and there are certainly a lot more variations of
some of the bottles shown.
I am starting with a set, or I
should say, parts of two
sets, of bottles from
Prestonfield House. The
ones on the right have the
word Edinburgh added at the
end of the address.
Ballindalloch Castle is a
private bottling for, err,
Ballindalloch Castle - funny
that!
Blackadder is not just a
comedy character and New
Zealand rugby player, they
are also a major bottler of
Scotch. Starting the next
page we have three of what I
again suspect is a much larger Castle set. Aren't these great bottles?
