Private Luxury Whisky Tour from Edinburgh -Visit 3 Distilleries

A quick stop at Linlithgow Palace which is the birthplace of James V (1512) and his only child, Mary Queen of Scots (1542). For perspective, the first record of whisky in Scotland was in the Exchequer Rolls of James IV in the year 1494...

These magnificent sculptures are the largest of their kind in the world. They represent the guardians of Scottish waterways (mythology and folklore) and of Clydesdale horses (industry). The latter undoubtedly playing a huge part in the mechanics of the whisky industry.

View the spectacular site of the heart of Scotland. Many have fought and died for this historical site. Hold Stirling Castle and control Scotland. Robert the Bruce successfully laid siege to this magnificent medieval fortress and promptly destroyed proclaiming that the English were never to use it again.

Sir William Wallace has no grave. This is his monument in memory of his acts in standing up to bullies and oppressors. Certainly one of Scotland's most significant historical figures.

With Stirling Castle destroyed in the aftermath of Bannockburn in 1314, Scotland was ruled from Doune Castle in years following. Fast forward another few years and we have appearances in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Outlander, Game of Thrones and The Outlaw King.

1030hrs - Located on the beautiful banks of the River Teith, Deanston is not your average run of the mill whisky distillery. On this tour you’ll get to explore the Distillery and learn about the heritage and explore the craft, the care and the processes that go into creating this uniquely waxy single malt whisky.

Each tour will finish with a two or three dram tasting from the core range of Deanston whiskies in the dedicated tasting area.

Let's break for lunch in the quaint town of Crieff. There's a good selection of lunch options ranging from cafes to restaurants to pubs. We can guide you.

Sample some drams of whisky from Scotland's oldest working distillery. This is also a luxurious retail experience incorporating Lalique glassware and jewellery.

Explore the grounds of Lindores Abbey. The spiritual home of Scottish whisky as it was here in 1494 that Friar John Cor distilled the spirit that James IV ordered in that very year. From a still in the ground to one of the most modern distilleries in Scotland, we can try some drams from this remarkable location.

The final stop on our whisky adventure. View three bridges spanning the Seas of Scotland. The oldest of the three bridges is of course the Forth Rail Bridge - trains in and out of Speyside raised this whisky region to prominence.
