Tens of thousands of visitors descended on Ingliston last weekend as the Royal Highland Show opened its doors for 176th time.
The show, which ran from Thursday to Sunday, was billed as the biggest and best celebration of farming, food and rural life, event showcases, award winning livestock, latest machinery, as well as featuring traditional rural skills, live music, cookery demonstrations, forestry events, show-jumping and lots of shopping opportunities.
The event also hosted an impressive list of Scottish distillers and Brewers, offering an imprssive array of craft blended Whisky, Ales, Gins, Vodka's and more.
Some of the brewers and distillers exhibiting and sampling included:
Innis & Gunn - a brewing company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Brewed in Glasgow at Wellpark, established in 2003 its beer has become the most popular British bottled beer sold in Canada, and second most popular in Sweden according to their online literature.

The foodhall - named 'Scotland's Larder Live' - featured the very best of culinary Scotland, from Orkney artisan cheese to botanical infused gin from Angus.
Visitors also enjoyed live music including ceilidh, country, traditional pipes and drums and jazz, with some just enjoying a glass of fizz in the show's Prosecco bar - as well as sampling many of the indigenous spirits and ales.
