Embark on a day tour from Edinburgh, explore through stunning landscapes, rich history, and finest whisky. Tour a distillery and marvel at the serene beauty and wild splendour of Scotland.
Departing Edinburgh’s New Town, we leave the bustle of the city behind us as we make embark on our scenic day trip takes you on a journey through Scotland’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and finest whisky.

Early on we’ll pass by the Kelpies, the towering 30-meter-high sculptures of mythical horses and Stirling, a symbol of Scottish royalty and history. Look out for the iconic views of the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important and grand castles.

Our first stop is at Deanston Distillery, once a bustling cotton mill, this historic site now crafts exceptional single malt whiskies. Take a guided tour through the distillery to uncover the time-honored whisky-making process and the fascinating story behind this unique location. Conclude your visit with a tasting of Deanston’s finest expressions, introducing you to the rich flavors and distinctive character of their whiskies. Alternatively, enjoy a stroll by the banks of the River Teith or relax in the distillery’s Coffee Bothy.

We’ll then journey deeper into the heart of the Trossachs to Loch Katrine, a stunning freshwater loch. Known for its peaceful beauty, Loch Katrine was immortalised in Sir Walter Scott’s famous poem The Lady of the Lake. Admire the beauty of the Scottish landscape and relax by the tranquil waters, surrounded by forests and mountains.

Not far away, we’ll make a short stop at Loch Achray, a smaller but equally picturesque loch nestled between the towering Ben A’an and Ben Venue mountains. The area around the loch is serene and peaceful, offering another chance to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

No Scottish adventure is complete without a visit to the iconic Hairy Coos—the legendary Highland cattle. Stop for photos and enjoy the charm of these furry giants that are synonymous with Scotland’s countryside.

On our way back, we make a quick pause at Queensferry, a charming town along the shores of the Firth of Forth. It’s famous for its iconic views of the Forth Bridges, particularly the striking red Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a moment to admire the stunning views over the water before continuing on your journey.

From here we head back to Edinburgh, after having witnessed some of Scotland’s most famous landmarks, tasted a bit of local whisky, and explored the beautiful countryside—all in one incredible day. We aim to be back in the Scottish capital in the mid-afternoon, around 4:30 PM.
