Cutty Sark (whisky) the famous poem by Robert Burns, "Tam o' Shanter". The drawing of the clipper ship "Cutty Sark" on the label of the whisky bottles is a work of the Swedish artist Carl Georg August Wallin. He was a mariner painter, and this is probably his most famous ship painting. This drawing has been on the whisky bottles since 1955. The Tall Ships' Races for large sailing ships were originally known as The Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races, under the terms of sponsorship by the whisky brand. Cutty Sark was originally distributed in the United States by Buckingham Co., which was

The gallery beneath the ship holds the world's largest collection of ships' figureheads, donated to the Society by Sydney Cumbers in 1953. From 1968 to 2004, the yacht Gipsy Moth IV, sailed singlehanded around the world by Sir Francis Chichester, was in an adjacent dry dock. This accounts for the naming of the adjacent Gipsy Moth pub.
