Evidence remaining of the hardships borne by a nation carving out its place in history is everywhere. Following a turbulent past, the nation of the Scots became one of the most progressive contributors to the enlightenment, producing a diverse selection of engineers, inventors, pioneers, statesmen, explorers, artists, writers, and some of the greatest minds the world has ever known. Famous throughout the world for many things, including their sense of humor, the Scots are perhaps best known for their warmth and hospitality. Upon arrival at the Edinburgh airport we will have a private transfer to our hotel in the heart of Scotland's capital city's center. After Welcome Drinks shortly after our arrival, you will have the rest of the evening free.

    Scotland, my auld, respected mither! Tho’ whiles ye moistify your leather, Till, whare ye sit on craps o’ heather, Ye tine your dam; Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither! Take aff your dram!

This is the heartland of whisky and is a popular destination for whisky enthusiasts from all around the world. Many come to devote themselves to the Holy Mother of Malts! Home to over half of the distilleries around Scotland, it is a treat to discover an array of aromas and flavours that will leave you wanting more. Famous for light, fruity characteristics, each distillery has its own unique quirks, creating a very long bucket list of distilleries to sample. SPEYSIDE ABERLOUR DISTILLERY Aberlour translates to Obar Lobhair in Gaelic meaning ‘the mouth of the talkative or noisy stream’, and was founded by James Fleming in 1879, whose family motto is, ‘Let the deed show”. The distillery is supplied by the Rivers Lour and Spey, which is a short distance from Ben Rinnes and is in the heart of Speyside. As a little curiosity, the distillery pours a bottle of Aberlour 12-year-old into the River Spey every year, to mark the start of the salmon fishing season in February. This little ritual is to ‘bless’ the water in hope of a good fishing season for locals.
