The world’s oldest Scotch whisky?
Approximately 40 bottles of Scotland’s renowned libation were unearthed within Blair Castle in Perthshire towards the end of the previous year.
Comprehensive investigations conducted within the castle’s historical records and employing state-of-the-art carbon dating technology propose that the liquid treasure harks back to the early 1800s.
Astonishingly there’s even a possibility that this whisky is the very same elixir savored by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert during their visit to the castle back in 1844.
The History of Whisky in the Scottish Highlands
From the earliest documented references to distilling in the 15th century, to its influence on popular culture today, whisky has a long and vibrant history in the Scottish Highlands.
Here’s a look at how whisky became a beloved cornerstone of Highland life and culture.

Scottish Pubs Around The World
The Scottish Prince was built in Aberdeen in 1878.
On the 3rd February 1887, under the command of Captain William of Australia on the final stages of a voyage from Glasgow to Brisbane it ran aground off the GoldCoast.
The wreck can still be found today about 80m from shore.
Paying homage to this ship is the Pub & Restaurant by the same name- The Scottish Prince.
