Edinburgh's Scotch Whisky Experience visitor attraction has unveiled two new 'push and sniff' bus stops in the city centre.

The first of their kind in the Scottish capital, they give travellers the chance to smell each of the four distinctive scents from Scotland's main whisky regions by pushing colour coded pods. Situated outside Princes Mall on Princes Street and on Leith Street beneath the St James centre, the bus stops are intended to reflect the sensory focus of the £3m new Scotch Whisky tour at the nearby attraction.

The four regions - Lowland, Highland, Islay and Speyside - are investigated further in an interactive nosing and tasting session within the new tour, which is designed to encourage visitors to challenge their preconceptions of Scotland's national drink. The Scotch Whisky Experience tour also incorporates a state-of-the-art barrel ride through the production processes, commentary and a visit to the World's Largest Collection of Scotch Whiskies.
