Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up
Your own personal guide will pick you up right outside your hotel, usually arriving 15 minutes before your tour begins, ensuring a warm and seamless start to your experience.
Stirling Castle
On the way to the first stop, you'll pass by the City of Stirling, where you'll catch sight of the magnificent Stirling Castle. Standing tall on Castle Hill, the medieval castle was where Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned and spent much of her early childhood.
Deanston Distillery Tour
Set in a truly breathtaking location, Deanston Distillery is the perfect start for your tour. Not only is the whisky fantastic, but the distillery itself also has a fascinating story. The building was originally a cotton mill, before Deanston's founder was inspired to turn it into a whisky distillery. Using the original lade, the distillery is now self-sufficient, creating its own electricity from the River Teith. Try a dram or two on your tour, then sit back and relax while your driver takes you to the next stop.
Duke's Pass, Trossachs
Possibly one of Scotland's most beautiful drives, Duke's Pass will lead you through the winding hills of the Trossachs. Be sure to stop for a few photos and capture every moment with your group.
Balmaha, Loch Lomond
One of the best places to marvel at the waters of Loch Lomond, Balmaha is a beautiful spot. Get your picture taken next to the Tom Weir Statue, with his trademark bobble hat. Tom Weir was one of Scotland's most famous climbers, TV presenters and authors. There's also a fantastic coffee shop if you fancy a wee coffee and cake!
Lunch
Your guide will provide you with a variety of lunch options, ensuring there's something to suit every taste and dietary preference.
Drymen
On the way to Glengoyne, you'll pass through the tiny village of Drymen. No more than a few houses, it was once a popular stopping place for cattle drovers.
Glengoyne Distillery Tour
Situated in a quiet glen, Glengoyne Distillery offers the peace and tranquillity you need to fully appreciate every moment, flavour and experience of your whisky tour and tasting. After sampling the delightful selection of whisky, you can take a stroll up to the local waterfall and admire the beauty of the glen. A perfect way to end the tour before heading back to Edinburgh.
