What a fantastic evening sailing on the beautiful Union Canal through Linlithgow and beyond. 5 wonderful LinGins and amazing canapés. If you haven’t tried these gins you really must. Each unique and special.

I Will Definitely Be Back
You all worked so hard and were so good at describing your products. The gin samples were amazing. No hard sell either and people were only too eager to buy their favourite gin. I will definitely be back. Linlithgow should be really proud of you!

Highly Recommend This Trip
What a lovely way to spend a night with friends. Lin Gin cocktails and a taster of the lovely Lin Gins and nibbles provided by Mason Bells on a canal barge. The scenery was amazing too.
