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 you are free to select your own dining location. Overnight at the Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh. For those arriving into Edinburgh, it is a short taxi ride to the hotel.

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 distillery; 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 “Athens of the North”. Sometime during today we will pay a visit to our private whisky club for a special tasting; THE SCOTCH MALT WHISKY ASSOCIATION Overnight Edinburgh.

day three; we move north this morning, stopping at Perth for a courtesy stop. We continue north again 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 - maybe taste others from the range. The key thing about this is personal treatment, professionally guided tasting and nosing, the cask tasting is pretty special. We then check into our accommodation as we return to Perth staying at the Royal George Hotel, overlooking the River Tay. Dinner this evening is open for your own choice, so many options! As with all the days on tour, we will give you many suggestions on dining and drinking out, here in Perth we will be treated special, why? This is where we are based and we will probably pay a visit to our local pubs where we are known well!

day four; a day trip to the land of whisky; Speyside. With a tour to the Glenfiddich distillery, a dram tasting included. This is a superb way to spend a few hours here in Scotland. Time for a light lunch at Glenfiddich. Following the tour we will return to Perth via a different scenic route, one that takes us over mountains, through glens and wee villages, as we wind our way to the Royal George in Perth. Dinner this evening is open for your own choice, so many options!

day five; see’s us heading north again to Spean Bridge driving through the stunning Badenoch and Glen Spean scenery, and have time for 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 with stone floors, wooden beams everywhere, open fires and a huge whisky selection!

day six; a 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 the bay, 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. A wee stroll will take you to the EE USK Restaurant on the pier, we have arranged time for a light lunch here (or a pub if you would rather). 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 and Scottish 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, 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. A final chance for that farewell drink!

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