Sheltered under heated marquees with live acoustic sessions, headline DJ sets, and Scotland's top street food purveyors, the village hosts pop-up sensory bars from global distilleries and pioneering local Scottish spirits makers. Whether you savor botanical gin infusions, smoked highland single malts, or zero-proof artisan elixirs, the experience delivers unforgettable urban buzz.
