A whiskey distillery has opened inside Crumlin Road Gaol, once a notorious Belfast prison.
Tourists in the Northern Irish capital can visit the McConnell's distillery on guided tours \- including a tasting of the island's trademark spirit.
Crumlin Road Gaol was in operation as a prison for more than 150 years from 1845 before it was decommissioned in 1996.
It has since been turned into a venue for cultural events.
The dark history of the site is kept alive in one part of the complex which visitors can explore by themselves or on a guided tour. This includes a visit to the Condemned Man's Cell, where 17 death sentences were carried out.
According to Tourism Ireland, videos and audio recordings document the prison's historical past, including holograms and interviews with former prisoners.
The new distillery was built in the A-wing of Crumlin Road Gaol - at a cost of £22 million pounds ($27.8 million). The malt silo, weighing several tonnes, was brought in through the roof, with several cells having to be removed for this. However, the bars on the windows have been retained, as have many of the original cell doors.
A tour of the distillery in north-west Belfast costs £25 and tickets can be booked online.
