Kevin and pals enjoy a visit to Dalwhinnie
Islands and Highlands
Historical sites, stunning scenery and plenty of whisky options. We can customize this with more whisky and less sightseeing. A superb 7 night/8 day tour staying in a baronial castle and waterside hotels.
Day 1: Marcus meets you (ideally in Glasgow) and whisks you away to the west coast, “west is best”. Take a short ferry to the wee isle of Arran (Scotland in miniature), visit the picturesque Lochranza Distillery before returning to the mainland, staying overnight at the lovely Stonefield Castle.
Day 2: After breakfast head to Oban, the seafood capital of Scotland. En route you stop at Kilmartin Glen, see and touch 5,000 year old standing stones and burial cairns. Take a tour of Oban Distillery, built in 1794 before the town! For non whisky drinkers, there’s plenty to do in the pretty harbour town. Check into your hotel in an executive room with sea views
Day 3: A morning sail (45 mins) to the Isle of Mull where you take a tour of the Tobermory Distillery (non drinkers wander around this pretty wee harbour). Time for lunch in a local pub before visiting Duart Castle, built in the fourteenth century, home to the Clan Chief, of the Clan Maclean. Return to Oban, overnight as above.
