Gareth Croll, National Whisky Festival coordinator, said: “After such an incredible year touring the country with our event in 2022, I can't wait to be back as part of Celtic Connections in January - the festival’s spiritual home.

“We are working with more whisky distilleries and musicians than ever and to share this with everyone, especially at such a cherished cultural fixture, is a dream come true.

“See you all at SWG3 for our biggest festival to date.”
