day one; We will escort you from Glasgow airport, to Edinburgh, where we stay for the first night. Staying in our Capital, exploring the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. Tonight we dine at Leith at our favourite seafood restaurant, followed by an evening at our whisky club; THE SCOTCH MALT WHISKY ASSOCIATION  Overnight at the Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh. day two; another day in the Capital City, this morning we take a trip to Rosslyn Chapel, now world famous thanks to the Da Vinci code movie.  This is a stunning visit so full of history, unknown secrets and myths. After the visit here we visit our first ditillery; Glenkinchie. The home of 'The Edinburgh Malt' is located in the rolling farmland of East Lothian and houses an exhibition in the listed red brick buildings. After a tour and taste here, we return to Edinburgh for some final free time here in this “Athens of the North”.  Overnight Edinburgh.

day three;  we move north this morning, our first stop is Perth and one of Scotland's most hidden castles: Elcho. We drive through the scenic Scottish countryside and start the visit driving through a Scottish working farm. The castle itself is a wee gem. We continue north again through through the city of Perth to Highland Perthshire and Aberfeldy.

Here we visit Dewars World of Whisky. We offer you the FABULOUS Signature Tour! - we don't define exactly how many whiskies you will  taste, but at least: Signature Super Premium  (£180 per bottle), Aberfeldy 21 year old single malt, Aberfeldy 12 year old. AND Taste direct from cask (in the filling store - 

currently a 22 year old Aberfeldy in original cask - very atmospheric!)    Plus - we're happy to let youtaste others from the range. The key thing about this is personal treatment, guided tasting, and the cask tasting is pretty special.  We then check into our accommodation.  Step through the doorway of this Country House Hotel, and into the arms of a classic warm, Scottish welcome. A former Victorian mansion house, the Pine Trees Hotel is small and select, combining luxurious accommodation with individual service and attention, in the glorious setting of the Scottish Highlands.  Dinner awaits.

day four; a day trip to the land of whisky; Speyside. With a tour to the Glenfiddich distillery, with an extra special tasting session included.  This is  a superb way to spend a few hours here in Scotland.  A light lunch will be offered before the tasting.  Following the Glenfiddich tour we will return to Pitlochry via a different route, one that takes us over mountains, through glens and wee villages, as we wind our way to the Pine Trees for dinner.

day five; see’s us heading north again to Dalwhinnie, where we make a distillery visit. Then driving through the stunning Badenoch and Glen Spean scenery to Spean Bridge, where we take a light lunch at the woollen mill.  We set off again driving towards the west coast and through Fort William to Glencoe, our most infamous glen.  A quick stop here before heading to our hotel, the George at Inveraray.  Dinner here is at your own selection from the hotel menu, a mouth watering menu to be exact!  Fantastic hotel bar, pictured below right.

day six; a relaxed fully cooked Scottish breakfast, before setting out for a visit to an amazing Scottish Kirk (church), the like of you will have not seen before (or again no doubt), St Conan’s Kirk.  Then to Oban … nestling beneath the steep cliff that overlooks Oban, one of Scotland's oldest sources of single malt scotch whisky is but a stone's throw from the sea. A tour including a taste here in Oban.  From here we take you to EE USK Restaurant (above photos) on the pier in Oban, we have arranged a light lunch here. Our day continues with a guided tour of Scotland’s ancient historic past, as we visit Kilmartin Glen, see and touch 5000 years of Celtic history here.  The day ends back at Inveraray.  Dinner this evening is open for your own ideas and selections.  At 9pm we gather once again at the hotel, to a private room for a whisky tasting spectacular.  Enjoy a selection of superb Scottish malts to round off the evening.

day seven; a final day today as we take you towards your final hotel, Glasgow.  We drive through stunning scenery, including the glen “rest and be thankful” taking us to Loch Lomond.  From here it is a short drive to Scotland’s largest city Glasgow, where we check in to Marriott Hotel in the city centre.  Dinner tonight is at your leisure here in Glasgow, so much choice!  For those of you with the energy we will escort you to a couple of local pubs for some local chatter and drinks.

day eight; sad farewell to you all, as we transfer to the airport for those flying on, or a wave goodbye at the city centre for those who are not! An excellent tour.  Haste ye back!
