1 CLYDESIDE DISTILLERY

It wouldn’t be right to visit Glasgow without acknowledging Scotland’s favourite drink. Opened in 2017, this family-run Scotch whisky distillery occupies the Old Pump House building on Queen’s Dock, from where the spirit was once exported around the world. We won’t spoil too much of the story, as a tour will reveal more of its past, but it’s worth knowing that this is the first dedicated single malt distillery to open in Glasgow in more than 100 years. Finish your visit in high spirits by browsing the drams at the shop; select one of the distillery’s exclusive whiskies from the Highland, Lowland or Islay and you can get it personalised with a bespoke label. There’s also a café with a whisky flight menu, allowing you to sample four drams alongside Scottish delicacies. Open daily 10am-5pm; a one-hour tour costs £15. theclydeside.com
