If you're a fan of all things gin then head over to newly opened Etsy shop, VectorGin as they have just launched a new gin map of Scotland.

Created, as the name suggests, using vector drawings of the bottles produced in Scotland, the map would make a welcome addition to any gin lovers home.

Owner Pip Carters, who is a graphic designer living in Glasgow, says of the map: "The project came about for a couple of reasons, the first was that I wanted to sharpen my illustration skills and the rise in gin caught my attention so I decided to focus on that.

"The second was that I was disappointed to find that one of my favourite gins that claimed to be Scottish was actually distilled in England by a large distiller.

"The more I looked into the provenance of other Scottish gins the more I grew frustrated with the lack of clarity of where they were distilled and produced.

"I started an Instagram account (@vectorgin) where I uploaded a illustration per day of a bottle of (what I thought) was a Scottish gin.

"Some that have been posted slipped through the net and are in fact made elsewhere but the vast majority of correct.

"The map is a celebration of the gins that are distilled in Scotland, which is why some of the more famous ones are ‘missing’."
