    Our final day

     September 29, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    After playing tetras with our luggage and finally getting all Cade's whisky and memorabilia packed we drove to the Botanical Gardens and wandered the grounds for a few hours. We spotted many grey squirrels and viewed a fantastic exhibition, Microscultpure- The insect portraits of Levon Bliss. We then had a lovely walk along Water of Leith to the Stockbridge Market. Finally the time came to head to the airport and start the long flight home.Read more

    A little bit of walking around the streets of Elgin started our morning off before we drove out to Balvinie and Glenfiddich to look at the distilleries and have some lunch. We stopped in at the Speyside cooperage which was an enormous production and then drove out to Glenfarclas Distillery.

    Battle for sun

     September 24, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Another foggy start to the morning had us driving towards the sun and Fortrose. We walked down the Whalingoe Steps and watched the wild ocean hit against the rocky shores then drove onto Carn Liath, a 2000 year old dwelling. From here we had a walk around the stunning Dunrobin Castle and gardens and watched a falconry presentation. The afternoon was spent tasting some Dalmore, Glen Ord and Glenmorangie Whisky and Black Isle brewery beers before finishing off with a lovely forest walk to Fairy Glen Falls and dinner in town.Read more

    Using the Highway 500 for inspiration for our driving route we made our way up the coast to Balnakiel Village and went for a walk along the beach. We then drove to Smoo caves and had a walk along the coast line of Scotland before making the drive around the northern coast to Wick. Once in Wick we visited Old Pulteney Distillery and took part in a tour before Cade got to bottle and wax his own 12yr old Bourbon cask whisky.Read more

    One final quick stop to Kilchoman provided Cade with a special distillery only edition whisky which was completely made at the distillery using their own grown malt something unique to Kilchoman. Our last ferry for the trip took us to the shores of Oban back on the mainland where Amy enjoyed some of the freshest seafood and a lovely stroll along the wharf. After dinner we watched the sunset from McCaig's Tower before heading back to our Airbnb.Read more
