An Introduction to Whisky
Discover the joy of Scotlands national drink on this one day tour.
Tour Description
Scotland is well renowned for Uisge Beatha - the water of life - Scotch Whisky. With a good selection of Scotland's 150+ distilleries in the the Lowland and Southern Highland whisky regions, there’s no shortage of places to explore. We can happily dedicate a day to visiting a couple of your favourites. From distilleries such as Glenkinchie on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Auchentoshan on the edge of Glasgow, Deanston, Loch Lomond and Glengoyne you’ll find no end of options for a warm and memorable introduction to Scotch. If you’re curious about Scotland’s new wave of whisky makers, we can venture to some of our exciting recent additions too - the award‑winning Lindores Abbey and Kingsbarns in Fife, Falkirk Distillery and the beautifully revived Rosebank, also in Falkirk; or the striking vertical Leith Distillery in Edinburgh’s historic port. We’d be delighted to design a bespoke itinerary featuring two distilleries that match your tastes and interests. Typical Itinerary: AM: 09.00 - Pick up at your chosen location. (Timing based on an Edinburgh departure). Visit your chosen first Distillery followed by lunch. PM: Visit your second choice of distillery and return. 18:00 - Drop off at your chosen location. (Timing based on an Edinburgh return.) Why not combine your day tour into a longer adventure? Stay overnight in one of our fantastic regional hotels and pair this experience with another of our Scottish or Northumberland tours. Just get in touch - we'll be happy to craft a bespoke itinerary for you. Please note, accommodation is not included on our multi-day tours, giving you the flexibility to choose lodgings that suit your style and budget.

Participation in extra excursions is entirely optional and may incur additional costs, which will be clearly communicated at the start of your tour.
