It is very easy to drive between these two great cities in less than four hours, but to do so means missing so much.

Come with us and take the side roads, away from most of the tourists, and experience some of the REAL Scotland.

Majestic palaces and venerable castles make up just part of your route.

Remote moors, awesome mountain scenery and beautiful silent lochs, Edradour the smallest whisky distillery in Scotland and a ruined Northern cathedral, forest walks and hidden waterfalls also go to make your trip a beautiful experience of some little visited areas of Scotland.

Queen Victoria's favourite view and her favourite home, Jacobite battlefields, scenes of victory and defeat, prehistoric burial tombs and standing stones all add to this trip through 4,000 years of Scottish history.

All together this trip, which can include all the famous distilleries of Speyside and, when extended slightly to Glenmorangie just 40 miles North of Inverness and Glenkinchie, 10 miles South East of Edinburgh, offers you the exciting option of visiting more than 15 very different and fascinating distilleries. You choose what your favourites are and we'll plan the itinerary around your preferences.

Accommodation ranges from simple Bed and Breakfast to 3 star hotels with excellent menus.
