# TasteSCOT

> Scotland's independent food & drink guide: 122 consumer-first articles across whisky, seafood, craft beer, gin, spirits and local produce, plus directory pages for 133 whisky distilleries, 22 gin brands, 25 seafood species, 36 farmers' markets and 13 food & drink festivals — honest reviews and real prices, not tourism-board copy.

Prices and tour figures are governed: prebuild validators fail the build on tour-price contradictions or fabricated distillery data, and retail bottle prices are deliberately never stated (they drift) — links go to retailers instead.
