Gin company looks to pay a taster while putting them up in a Scottish castle

Oh, and you get paid too.

Gin lovers line up, as this opportunity is likely to attract a lot of people looking for a boozy Scottish escape.

Called a summer ‘Gin-ternship’, the selected applicant will visit the Pentland Hills and try different gins, with a focus on botanical flavours.

Paying £500, free accommodation is also included as part of the deal.

Residing in Dalhousie Castle, a luxury castle hotel, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to see the sights in Edinburgh as its just eight miles away.

At the castle, there will be daily gin sampling and a tour of the distillery.

Hannah Fletcher, brand manager for Tŷ Nant Water, which owns King’s Hill, said: ‘As summer draws closer, there’s nothing quite like sipping gin in the sun – it’s a special experience, and we wanted to take this to the next level for one lucky gin lover. 

‘Our distillery is nestled in a breath-taking location right on the outskirts of Edinburgh, so we also wanted to make sure our next Gin-tern would get the full King’s Hill experience.

‘After all, there is no better place to enjoy our award-winning gin than here, right at the heart of the Scottish Pentland Hills.

‘We’d like to invite anyone with a distinguished palate and a love for all things gin to apply and become our first-ever Gin-tern.’
