The Bon Accord – A malt whisky & ale haven
"The Bon Accord" is an award-winning pub specialised in malt whiskies and real ales. For me, it's a must if you fancy one wee exceptional dram!

About me
About me
Originally from France, I left Paris to move to Glasgow in 2015 and fell in love with the country. I teach French to foreigners and have a passion for languages, film, and photography. I am currently studying for a Master’s in film curation, have organized a few film events and contribute to a Scottish art magazine.
I am drawn to the outdoors, love Scotland’s wilderness and forces of nature. I fancy hillwalking and road trips to Northern territories and feel great on top of a mountain. My goal is to take as many ferries as I can to reach each of the many Scottish islands, but it takes time. I enjoy traveling off the beaten track, and mainly anything connected with visual and living arts.
I still don’t understand every Scot I come across, but I am not desperate yet!
