Mountains, Lochs & Whisky!
A relaxing day out exploring the stunning scenery of Highland Perthshire. Includes a visit to one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries and the chance to sample some malt whisky*!
We head for the Highlands to take in some famous sights, as well as getting off the beaten track to discover some wonderful hidden gems. First stop is the impressive Wallace Monument, overlooking historic Stirling with its stunning castle. Hear tales of William Wallace and get the real story behind the legend with our expert local guides.
Meet a ‘hairy coo’ as we head into the Highlands. We skirt the Trossachs (Rob Roy country) and view the impressive Falls of Dochart. Then journey alongside beautiful Loch Tay, under the towering peaks of Ben Lawers. After picking up some lunch, what better way to end the day than with a wee dram? Our final stop gives you the option* to take a whisky tasting tour at Scotland’s oldest (
legal) distillery, Glenturret ( home of
The Famous Grouse Experience).
*The tour lasts approximately 1 hour, costs £5 and includes a tour of the distillery itself as well as a 'wee dram' of whisky to warm your heart and round off a stunning tour of the highlands. Those who don't wish to take the tour can enjoy a great wee forest walk in the local area (ask your guide) or spend time in the restaraunt, gift shop and bar, located within the distillery.
Finally, it’s over the magnificent Forth Bridge and back to Edinburgh, returning in the early evening.
