Arran’s Warrior restores Goatfell footpaths

Isle of Arran Distillers has raised over £6,000 for the National Trust for Scotland from sales of its limited edition singe malt whisky, The Sleeping Warrior.

Just 6,000 bottles of the limited edition expression were released last summer specifically to raise funds for the Scottish countryside preservation charity.

Money raised went towards restoring footpaths around Goatfell, Arran’s highest mountain.

Euan Mitchell, managing director at Arran Whisky, said: “The National Trust for Scotland plays a vital role in maintaining our iconic Scottish countryside for future generations. As a leading independent distillery, we’re determined to make a positive contribution to our local area and I’m delighted that The Sleeping Warrior was so well received by the public. The money we have raised is going to a great cause, and I sincerely hope we can work with and support the National Trust again in the future.”

Restoration work at Goatfell will begin this summer.
