Whisky Club "Highland Circle"

With the "most Venerable Order of the Highland Circle", Nuremberg is home to Germany's oldest whisky club. Around 60 members meet monthly for tastings. For years, members of the Highland Circle have made regular trips to the favored prouction areas of Scottish single malts.

In 1996, the enterprising group even created an official area tartan for Franconia - the first German regional design. Circle members are also active supporters of Nuremberg's city partnership with Glasgow. At the end of each January a "Robert Burns Supper" takes place in Nuremberg - complete with haggis (filled sheep's stomach) and ceilidh (Scottish dance party).
