If your mum's a fan of gin then a tour of the Pickering's Distillery, at Summerhall, is a perfect fun Sunday outing. You'll be welcomed with a perfectly poured gin and tonic, before enjoying a tour of the workshop and distillery to find out how the gin is made. You'll then get to sample four different gins before being sent away with a miniature 5cl bottle of booze to enjoy at home. Bookings are available on their website.
