Itinerary

  1. On the way to the first stop, you’ll pass by the City of Stirling. You’ll catch sight of the magnificent Stirling Castle.
  2. Set in a truly breathtaking location, Deanston Distillery is the perfect start for your tour. Not only is the whisky fantastic, but the distillery itself also has a fascinating story. The building was originally a cotton mill, before Deanston’s founder was inspired to turn it into a whisky distillery. Using the original lade, the distillery is now self-sufficient by creating its own electricity from the River Teith. Try a dram or two on your tour, then sit back and relax while your driver takes you to the next stop. During peak times, this distillery tour may be unavailable. We'll offer an alternative distillery tour and confirm with you before booking. (2h 0min)
  3. Possibly one of Scotland’s most beautiful drives, Dukes Pass will lead you through the winding hills of the Trossachs. Be sure to stop for a few photos and capture every moment with your group. (1h 0min)
  4. One of the best places to marvel at the waters of Loch Lomond, Balmaha is a beautiful spot. Get your picture taken next to the Tom Weir Statue with his bobble hat. Tom Weir is one of the most famous Scottish climbers, TV presenters and authors. There’s also a fantastic coffee shop if you fancy a wee coffee and cake! (2h 30min)
  5. On the way to Glengoyne, you’ll pass through the tiny village of Drymen. No more than a few houses, it was once a popular stopping place for cattle drovers.
  6. Situated in a quiet glen, Glengoyne Distillery offers the peace and tranquillity you need to fully appreciate every moment, flavour and experience of your whisky tour and tasting. After sampling the delightful selection of whisky, you can take a stroll up to the local waterfall and admire the beauty of the glen. A perfect way to end the tour before heading back to Edinburgh. During peak times, this distillery tour may be unavailable. We'll offer an alternative distillery tour and confirm with you before booking. (2h 30min)
