Many of these were made from hand blown glass and were known as Gin Pigs. Our gin Pigs are also inspired by the two gin pigs on display at National Trust property, Brodie Castle, seeing these two large jugs caught our imagination and our design of the Gin Pig was born. The glass pig decanter is hand-made at the Angels’ Share Glass studio and has a stopper for the nose so the drink can be poured out and later refilled.waterofleith.org.uk/walkway The Palm House at the Royal Botanic Garden (Alamy) 14.

Unravel the Knights Templar connection at Rosslyn Chapel We won our first ‘best rye’ award for an innovative whiskey release in 2012,” said Jeff Kozak, Whistlepig CEO, “and we haven’t stopped experimenting since.

Also new for the summer are the Angels’ Share bottle stoppers which allow you to cork your favourite bottle until you are ready for the next glass. The release is in honour of the brand’s ‘10 years of award-winning innovation’, marking a decade since it won its first ‘best rye’ award. Scandinavian modernism is perhaps the warmest and most organic iteration of modernist design. The work of the designers associated with vintage Scandinavian modern furniture was founded on centuries-old beliefs in both quality craftsmanship and the ideal that beauty should enhance even the humblest accessories of daily life. Karen Somerville, Managing Director at Bridge of Allan-based Angels’ Share Glass, said: “Our Gin Pigs have been flying off the shelves ever since we came up with the idea two years ago and we thought it would be fun to create a different summer version.

My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.” The Scottish capital is one of the greenest cities in the UK and its highlight is the almost absurdly picturesque Botanic Garden — filled with 13,000 plant species and a herbarium containing three million specimens. It has been open since 1670 and the view of Edinburgh’s steeple-spiked skyline from in front of Inverleith House is among the most enchanting in the city. Each nation produced exceptional talents in all areas of the applied arts, yet each had its forté. Sweden was home to Greta Magnusson Grossman and Bruno Mathsson — creators of the classic Grasshopper lighting series and Berlin daybed, respectively — but the country excelled most notably at ceramics. In the 1920s at the great Gustavsberg porcelain manufactory, Wilhelm Kåge introduced pieces in the Scandinavian style based on influences from folklore to Cubism; his skills were passed on to his versatile and inspired pupils Berndt Friberg and Stig Lindberg.

Angels’ Share Glass is based in Bridge of Allan, near Stirling and was established by Master Glassmaker Tom Young MBE and his daughter Karen Somerville in 2013. From rush-inducing Edinburgh Castle to the 19th-century New Town, Scotland’s capital has no shortage of spellbinding architecture. Forgotten among this is Craigmillar Castle: a toothy ruin, complete with a tower house, great hall and standout city views. You’ll find it three miles southeast of the city centre — it’s easy to get to by public transport, or you can book a guided tour to see it along with the city’s other hidden sights.All are hand made and hand filled in our Bridge of Allan glass blowing studio and feature a cork stopper for the nose, delicate pink ears, and subtle blue eyes.

Visiting Edinburgh and drinking a fine grain malt or juniper-infused gin is a must these days; both spirits are seeing a renaissance within the city limits. Start by supping a single malt on the Royal Mile, before boning up on how to blend at one of many distilleries. The West End has the monstrous Johnnie Walker Princes Street and the subterranean Edinburgh Gin Distillery. Take a tour of the latter and you’ll meet its two copper stills, Caledonia and Flora, see one of the world’s best inventions — a Victorian glass gin pig decanter — and sample some of the bestselling gins along the way.
