Turret follows in the proverbial paw-steps of Towser who still holds the Guinness World Record for best mouser, catching 28,899 mice in her 24 years at the distillery and whose statue and World Record Certificate is proudly displayed on the distillery wall.

Turret has the freedom to roam Glenturret Distillery’s grounds to put his natural instincts to explore to the test.

But when he failed to turn up for work one morning earlier this month, frantic staff launched a search party.

Despite combing the immediate area, there was no sign of the mischievous moggy.

Things looked bleak – until a social media post from a member of staff at the nearby Crieff Hydro popped up.

It seemed like Glenturret’s fabulous feline fancied a holiday and decided to check out the accommodation next door!

And, while he waited for his lift back to Glenturret, delighted Hydro staff treated the fussy feline to a marvellous mini break.

Now Turret has become an internet sensation after his antics were captured in a light-hearted video which has now been viewed by thousands.
