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

We
move north this morning, our first stop is Perth and one of
Scotland's most hidden castles: Elcho (pictured at right).
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 you will sample: 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 you taste 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, 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

A
day trip to the land of whisky; Speyside. With a tour to the
Glenfiddich
distillery (pictured at right), 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
