If you’re seeking a quirky gift for a lover of traditional Scottish songs, check out the Etsy shop of Burgess Bagpipes. As well as instruments, this Forres-based family business make “tunes on wood”, including Auld Lang Syne. Of course, the go-to gift for anyone who likes to raise a dram to the Bard on January 25 is whisky, and there’s no better time to support some of Scotland’s smallest distilleries. Strathearn Single Malt spends its life in European oak and ex-Sherry casks for a “soft and mellow style developing to rich red fruits and subtle sweetness”, while Kilchoman’s Sanaig, named after an inlet on the coast of Islay, is matured in both sherry and bourbon barrels for “a balance of dried fruits, dark chocolate and rich peat smoke”.
