Description

Discover the rich whisky heritage of the Scottish Highlands on a private full-day tour from Edinburgh. The Highland whisky region is the most diverse in Scotland, known for its fruity, floral, and complex flavors, influenced by the surrounding nature. This tailor-made tour can be customized to your preferences. Your private driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in the morning, setting off for the Highlands. Along the way, you’ll learn about the fascinating history of whisky, the distillation process, and personal insights on how to enjoy Scotland’s national drink. Start the day with a visit to Glenturret Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest whisky producers, legally distilling since 1775. Enjoy a guided tour, learning about traditional whisky-making methods before sampling a dram in their award-winning tasting room. After Glenturret, take a scenic drive through the stunning Highlands via Loch Earn. This picturesque loch, nestled among rolling hills, offers breathtaking views and a peaceful escape into nature. Stop for lunch at a traditional Highland pub, where you can enjoy local cuisine and a dram if you fancy. Next, visit the medieval Doune Castle, famous for its appearances in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Outlander, and Game of Thrones. If time permits, explore its well-preserved interiors and learn about its history. End the tour at Deanston Distillery, a former cotton mill converted into a whisky distillery in 1967. Deanston prides itself on crafting whisky the traditional way—unfiltered and full of character. Here, you’ll enjoy a unique warehouse experience, sampling whisky straight from the cask. Return to Edinburgh in the early evening, enriched with whisky knowledge and a taste of Highland history.
