Anyone who climbs Ben Lomond will get a free dram of Loch Lomond Single Malt
AWARD-WINNING Loch Lomond Single Malt Whisky is planning to “take-over” one of Scotland’s most iconic summits, Ben Lomond, on Saturday, May 20 to celebrate World Whisky Day.
The great World Whisky Day mountain climb will be kick-started in the UK by a team from the local distillery taking in the views from the summit of Ben Lomond.
To toast the global day of whisky, the Loch Lomond Whisky team will offer a free dram for everyone that reaches the summit of Scotland’s most popular Munro that day.
Anyone climbing to the summit at 974 metres (3196ft) on World Whisky Day, will be given a card that will be stamped at the top, which can be exchanged on their return to the base at Rowardennan car park for a free miniature.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
