Overview

The best way to spend a morning or afternoon while in Scotland is a whisky tour from Edinburgh to the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.

Visit two distilleries from two separate whisky regions and returns to Edinburgh within around 4.5 hours.

Learn from the local Highland and Lowland whisky experts and take a tour round one of our beautiful distilleries, then sample the water of life straight from the source!

Two of the best distilleries from their respective regions.

We depart Edinburgh at 8:30am, visit one Highland distillery and one Lowland distillery and join their tours or have some whisky samples and enjoy the surroundings of the Scottish highlands and Lowlands then drive back a different route to Edinburgh with a return around 1:45pm. One tour and one tasting at the first distillery and one distillery tasting at the second distillery.

Some fantastic landmarks on the tour are the three bridges at Queensferry and the Kelpies near Falkirk.

Lindores Abbey Distillery

In 2017, spirit started flowing once again from copper stills at Lindores Abbey Distillery. Learning as much as they can from the great Scottish distillers around them, past and present, and from others much further afield, they are looking forward to bringing a very modern whisky-making approach to this ancient site. Distilling was taking place on this site at least as early as 1494, although it was most probably happening long before that. We know this because of the earliest written reference to Scotch Whisky (or Aqua Vitae, as it was then known), which appears in the Exchequer Roll of the same year. It mentioned a Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, who was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae. 8 Bolls of malt amounts to around 500kg in modern terms and would have been enough to make about 400 bottles of today’s whisky. Tasting at own expense or tour and tasting at own expense.
