Itinerary
Day 1
Edradour Distillery, Cairngorms National Park & Glenlivet
Close
You'll depart from Edinburgh with your guide and head north over the spectacular Queensferry Crossing bridge towards Perth and into the Highlands. The first stop of your whisky tour in Scotland will be at Edradour Distillery. Afterwards, you'll continue north into the Cairngorm National Park, where you will spend some time in Aviemore. After lunch, you will travel down the Spey valley to the famous Glenlivet Distillery.
The first stop today will be Balvenie Castle, a 12th-century ruin with a long and interesting history. A pleasant wander around the ruins will be an easy start to the day. Just down the road is the Glenfiddich Distillery, home of a world-famous whisky. After lunch, you'll head for the new Macallan Distillery. This place is amazing and a tour takes about an hour. Then it will be time to start the journey back, which will be through the scenic Cairngorm mountains and on to Edinburgh.
