We will head north towards Loch Lomond, where we will take a sail on this world famous loch! Then turning west through the Argyll forests to Loch Fyne itself, driving along the shoreline we arrive at INVERARAY where we check into the LOCH FYNE HOTEL. After some free time we pay a visit to the castle - home to the Chief of Clan Campbell. Free time afterwards until our evening dinner.

Day two we depart after a full Scottish breakfast to see and touch over 5000 years of ancient Celtic and Scottish history! Kilmartin Glen has so many historic sites, we will just be able to select a few, but they will be superb! From here north where soon we will cross the Atlantic, stopping at a wee Scottish pub steeped in history "the house of trousers", time for a dram and food here. Then to OBAN and the distillery tour. The afternoon sees us heading east to Fort William and the BEN NEVIS distillery. Our return to Inveraray is complete with a drive through the infamous Glencoe. Special "whisky pub session" tonight!

More distilleries today as we head south to Campbeltown for a distillery visit. Springbank Distillery is unique. It is the oldest independent family owned distillery in Scotland, the only distillery in Scotland to carry out the full production process on the one site. 100% of the traditional floor malting, maturation and bottling is done at the distillery in Campbeltown. It produces the most hand made whisky in Scotland, the only distillery in Scotland to have never chill-filtered, nor do we add any aftificial colourings to any of our single malts and the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn, using three different production methods. A wee bit of sightseeing en route and returning to Inveraray for some free time. A whisky dinner is on the menu this evening, enjoy!

The final day of our tour, we head to AUCHENTOSHAN distillery for a visit and tasting session. With time for lunch here, we then move to our final destination; EDINBURGH. We stay overnight in the Scottish capital - after a relax and maybe you can sample a local pub, we enjoy a finale to the tour with a whisky tasting dinner at our hotel. The 4 Star ROYAL TERRACE HOTEL Part of a prestigious Georgian Terrace, the hotel overlooks Scotland's historical capital and just minutes walk from the city centre. Tour ends here ... but;
