A warm welcome awaits you here around Speyside and the Grampian Highlands, home to more than half of Scotland's distilleries, and eight of the most famous are to be found on the the Speyside Malt Whisky Trail, the world's only Malt Whisky Trail. The trail is about 70 miles long (110 km) and you can easily spend an hour in each distillery.

A guide will be available to take you around the distillery and share some of the secrets of whisky production. At the end you will usually be invited for a 'wee dram' in the distillery shop. If you plan to do the full tour and have a taste for the malt, can we suggest you find a driver!

There is also a delightful local distillery at nearby Tomatin which warmly welcomes visitors throughout the year – www.tomatin.com
