Edinburgh - tours

Went on a walking tour (so much history!). Got the impression that Edinburgh was pretty self impressed with "the Athens of the north" motto and attempting (failing) to build a replica Parthenon.

Next, a whiskey tour! It was part museumy - going through the whiskey making process, main regions, and how things affect the flavour - and part whiskey tasting, where you could compare single malt whiskies from different regions and a blended whiskey. Interesting and enjoyable, although pretty pricey even given the whiskey sampling. I think I liked the blended whiskey best (cheap tastes, woo!). They had a huge collection (world's largest?) of whiskies, especially in rare bottles.

Bonus: balloon octopus! 🐙Leggi altro
