A US businessman who has never visited Scotland has splashed out $20,000 for a rare bottle of whisky.
Dan Weiss, 44, from New Jersey, was the highest bidder at an auction during Tartan Week to raise money for the City Harvest food charity in New York.
He paid £11,422 for the Glenfiddich, which was casked in 1937, the coronation year of George VI.
Mr Weiss said it would have to be a “heck of a special occasion” before his purchase was opened and drunk.
