Begin your adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland with two full days on foot touring around the entire city from the historic Royal Mile to the modern Prince Street, enjoying museums, pubs, high tea, distilleries and plenty of food.

Then, travel to St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, edging your way up the countryside touring castles teetering on the cliff’s edge, finally resting your head in the Speyside, the heart of whisky country.

Once in Speyside, discover where two-thirds of Scotland’s whisky is distilled. Tour the greatest distilleries and discover the unknown. You’ll have the chance to taste whisky dating back to your birth year, visit a cooperage learning the secrets of the whisky barrel and travel to towns off-the-beaten path.

The tail-end of the trip is spent in Inverness, looking for Nessy in Lochness, seeing critical battle sites in Scotland’s history of a nation and walking through ancient burial grounds that’ll have you reaching for a dram in no time!

Returning to Edinburgh, celebrate the trip with a final whisky dinner and celebration, sharing stories of the past week.
