Whisky lovers from far and wide have been flocking to the banks of Loch Fyne this weekend for the first ever Spirit of the West festival.
The event at Inveraray Castle promotes Scotland's amber nectar produced in the west of Scotland's sixteen distilleries, together with the best of national food and culture.
The world famous Red Hot Chilli Pipers opened the show on Saturday.
Whisky generates £3billion of income for Scotland every year - and is purchased around the world. Visitors from as far afield as Japan and the USA flocked to the festival to sample what was on offer.
Whiskies on show ranged from old favourites such as Bowmore through to young pretenders like Kilchoman.
Nick Nairn, who was cooking in the food tent at the festival, said: "There is a natural affinity between produce live beef, venison and shellfish and whisky.
"If you use the right whisky in the right concentration they work brilliantly together."
