whisky & castles in scotland

What really makes Scotland truly unique for many is that this is the countryside that produces whisky. More than two thousand different blended whiskies and around 120 single malts. We can sample many malts right at their source in the Highland distilleries.

Staying in such stylish surroundings with wonderful personal attention, eating generous breakfasts and sumptuous dinners – you may be tempted to the odd dram of the ‘water of life’. Most properties have superb malt whisky selections. Your friendly guide is usually ‘mine host’ – often an expert on Scotch whisky, as well as on the culture, the history and the highlights of the local Scottish countryside.
