Highlanders explore the whisky and gin bar at the Highlander Club’s Launch Event in May 2021.
THE HIGHLANDER CLUB LAUNCH EVENT On a chilly Tuesday evening in May 2021 we invited our Highlanders to the College for our inagural Highlander Club Evening. Highlanders were treated to a bespoke whisky and gin tasting experience over the course of the evening. A range of classic and boutique whiskies and gins were on offer, in addition to premium wines, all accompanied by delicious canapés. Those in attendance were thanked for their support and heard updates from the Chair of Foundation (Niall Cairns), College Principal (Wayne Erickson) and Chair of Council (Charlie Taylor), before being serenaded by our talented student choristers and their rendition of ‘Parting Glass’. The evening was a wonderful opportunity for passionate and likeminded members of our community to come together and connect with one another and the Council, Foundation, Staff and Student Leaders.
