What's included in Bonnie Lochs & Bold Whisky Small Group Tour from Edinburgh
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Forth Road Bridge
We leave Edinburgh this morning and make our way to a wee viewpoint that has a way of catching people’s attention: The Forth Bridges Viewpoint. 1890. 1964. 2017. Those are the years these three bridges were opened and – despite their differences – they oddly complement each other. History spanning three centuries, it’s a great spot for a wee break.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
We continue north into Scotland’s first national park: Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, often referred to as 'the birthplace of Scottish tourism'. We have plenty of time here at the loch to grab a bite to eat and explore – but how you explore is up to you! We’ll bring you to Trossachs Pier where you have a couple of options. Perhaps you’ll hire a bike from Katrine Wheelz and cycle along the scenic banks of Loch Katrine*. The private road you’ll journey along is almost traffic free, giving you the chance to fully relax and embrace the beautiful views around you. If cycling’s not your thing, you can jump on the Sir Walter Scott Steamship cruise. Sit back and relax as someone else does the heavy lifting, while you simply enjoy the views and the commentary from the captain as you sail the waters.
The Glenturret Distillery
After some fresh air and yummy food, we jump back on the bus and take you to the doors of Glenturret Distillery, Scotland’s oldest working distillery, dating back to 1763. You’re not the only ones to have been drawn to its doors – famous writers like Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns once visited, Prime Ministers and Princes too. And now it’s your turn. You’ll be treated to a tour of the facility and a sampling of Glenturret’s delectable range.
