So nine of those botanicals are brought in. The rest of them are actually foraged on the island. So the distillation is much more complex to what it used to be.

So Gin Spa is the first botanical and gin inspired day spa in the world and it's first into Glasgow. We are focusing on botanical inspired products for our treatments. We also have a complimentary gin bar that we give to our guests after their treatment, or if they are having a manicure they can have a martini and such like cocktail. And where we want to take this journey is the customer is experiencing gin from the minute they come in the door. So the cent of juniper and lime is what they experience as the door opens and we're taking five star products to make sure the customer has a great experience from start to finish.

The growth of the gin market, especially the craft gin market, has been massive. The gin market in the UK, seventy percent of gin made in the UK is actually made in Scotland, but we're moving more towards craft gins rather than the big production gins, that we have in the past. Gin spa has sort of taken the customer, looking at the female customer, who are very much the gin drinkers and thinking what else can we give them. And day spa and gin goes well hand in hand.

We also get a lot of tourists, so they want to kind of try gin, knowing that Scottish gin has become so popular. So they want to try gins that they know are from craft distilleries, so using the local botanicals, people who are actually making it and not just big companies that are churning out bottle after bottle, so it's actually someone's life, someone's job.
