All of the peat
2019年9月19日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
A beautiful sunny morning had us driving along the coast to Ardbeg where Cade enjoyed a wee tour and some tastings seeing behind the scenes. We then went to Lagavulin and Laphroaig and spent some time enjoying the beautiful sun both managing to lose our jumpers in the surprising sun. We spent the evening at the pod watching a spectacular sunset over the bay.もっと詳しく

Bowmore Distillery
2019年9月20日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This tour was what dreams are made of for Cade. We met at the distillery at 10.30 before getting in the van and driving further off the beaten track into the heart of Islay to visit the unique water source, the River Laggan where we learnt the story of the cleverly designed and meandering water-way, the Bowmore Lade. After a morning taking in the magnificent scenery around Islay we visited Cafaidh Blasda based at the local Gaelic college where we enjoyed a traditional ploughman’s platter lunch. Thereafter we returned to the Visitor Centre and embarked on an in-depth tour of the distillery which included a warehouse tasting in the legendary No.1 Vaults of 20year old whisky. We finished the day off with Chinese at the pod watching the sunset.もっと詳しく

Onwards to Oban
2019年9月21日, スコットランド ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
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.もっと詳しく

Ullapool and the straw bale home
2019年9月22日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A morning drive to walk through the Dunstaffnage Castle started our day off. We then started the long drive to Ullapool stopping along the way at Ben Nevis to go for a beautiful walk to the Steall waterfalls. Cade was brave enough to walk across the 3 cable bridge. We drove through some beautiful mountain ranges around Loch Ness and visiting the Urquhart castle. With the scenery constantly changing until we reached Ullapool and settled in for the evening in a home made from straw.もっと詳しく

Highway 500
2019年9月23日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
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.もっと詳しく

Battle for sun
2019年9月24日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 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.もっと詳しく

We spent a morning walking around Fortrose Castle and tried to spot some bottlenose dolphins off Chanonry point before driving towards the Speyside distilleries. We stopped in at Tomatin, Glenlivet, Aberlour and finally made our way to Macallan. Amy finally got to pat a Highland cow making her day and Cade drank some more lovely whisky.もっと詳しく

Elgin and surrounds
2019年9月26日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
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. On our way back into town we walked the Craigellachie Bridge and then we wandered the grounds of the Elgin Cathedral climbing to the top of one of the towers.もっと詳しく

Our final day
2019年9月29日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 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.もっと詳しく
