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?
