Forever Edinburgh is collaborating with local tourism businesses to introduce the ‘Meet Edinburgh’s Makers’ series, which highlights the creativity of the city’s producers, particularly in distilling and brewing.
This initiative is part of the Experience the Beauty campaign aimed at boosting the visitor economy.
The series features interviews with key makers and a new Brewers and Distillers Map showcasing over 60 local businesses, including Holyrood Distillery and Port of Leith Distillery.
The map encourages visitors to explore Edinburgh’s vibrant food and drink scene, accessible via sustainable travel options.
Cllr Cammy Day, leader of the City of Edinburgh Council said: “Distilling in Edinburgh links back to the 18th century, and we have seen a revival of late with so many wonderful producers and brewers choosing the capital at their HQ.
“We’re really lucky in Edinburgh to have some of the best in the country, from the Port of Leith Distillery to Innis and Gunn, Edinburgh Gin and many more.
“The Meet Edinburgh’s Makers initiative celebrates Edinburgh’s renaissance as the true spirit of Scotland, and uses the stories of the dedicated craftspeople and their exceptional experiences around the city to draw more interest from our visitors.”
Callum Rae, distillery manager at Holyrood Distillery said: “We’re thrilled to be part of the ‘Meet Edinburgh’s Makers’ series, which highlights the incredible producers that call Edinburgh home.
“With such a wide variety of experiences in the city, being showcased by Forever Edinburgh is a fantastic opportunity for our business.
“This campaign will bring more people through our doors and give them a chance to explore the great drinks Edinburgh has to offer.
“We’re delighted to be listed alongside other local brands and share in celebrating Edinburgh evolving from being the heart of Scotland to embodying its spirit as well.”
