Description
Discover the Scottish Highlands on a guided tour. Visit the Scottish Crannog Centre, enjoy whisky tastings at Dalwhinnie and Blair Athol distilleries, and explore Scone Palace.
Begin with a scenic drive by The Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures. These striking steel monuments pay homage to the working horses of Scotland’s industrial past and the mythical kelpies said to inhabit the country’s lochs and rivers.
Continue north through the lush landscapes of the Trossachs and into Highland Perthshire, arriving at The Scottish Crannog Centre on the shores of Loch Tay. Step back into the Iron Age as you explore a reconstructed crannog and learn about ancient Scottish life through interactive exhibits and storytelling.
From there, wind your way through the Cairngorms to the Dalwhinnie Distillery. Soak in the spirit of the remote location and striking landscape while discovering the iconic malt. Enjoy a guided tour and tasting, savoring the peaty, heather-honeyed notes of Dalwhinnie whisky.
Next, head to the charming town of Pitlochry for a leisurely lunch, where local cafés offer hearty Scottish fare with views of the River Tummel. After lunch, continue to Blair Athol Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Explore its rich heritage and sample its deep, mellow single malt.
Conclude your day with a visit to Scone Palace, the historic crowning place of Scottish kings and the original home of the Stone of Destiny. Wander through its stately rooms, landscaped gardens, and ancient grounds steeped in royal lore, ending your journey with a true sense of Scotland’s enduring spirit.
