Description

We head northwest towards Stirling, a city where the echoes of Scotland's past resonate through its ancient streets. Dominated by the impressive Stirling Castle, the town offers breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. We stop for a photo of the castle and ponder over the many battles it has witnessed. We continue our journey to Glengoyne, a Highland distillery with a picturesque setting. Discover the magical process of turning barley, water, and yeast into whisky on Glengoyne Distillery tour. Learn how the slowest stills in Scotland do their thing whilst savouring two drams of their rich and fruity whisky. Next, we take a scenic drive to the shores of Loch Lomond for a tasty pub lunch in Balmaha. We recommend a short walk to the viewpoint overlooking the loch before heading towards the second distillery. Deanston Distillery is a converted cotton mill on the banks of the River Teith that produces some unique whisky flavours. You've got a chance to experience the enhanced tasting with a quick look at some of the main parts of the distillation process. After a relaxed afternoon, you leave Deanston Distillery with a new discovery. Whisky is not just a drink; it's an experience, a connection to the land, the craftsmanship, and history. Those thoughts will keep you warm all the way past Stirling and the lush countryside to Edinburgh. *Itinerary and distillery visits are subject to change.
