Scotch whisky is ingrained within Scottish culture.

The ancient Scots used it to heal common ailments and keep warm throughout the winter. And now, Scottish whisky exports make up one quarter of the UK’s international food and drink trade.

It’s a fascinating part of Scottish heritage, and on this tour, you learn about it at two distinct distilleries. You visit Glengoyne, a tiny, quaint distillery located at the foot of a delightful hill. And you explore Deanston distillery, a large distillery with a fascinating industrial past.

What’s more is you blend these delicious flavours with a visit to one of the most famous lochs in the whole of Scotland at the Loch Lomond National Park.

So take this tour, sample a delectable range of whiskies, and learn about Scotland’s national drink.

    Such a fun day touring the Glengoyne and the Deanston distilleries. Time for lunch is worked in. We were lucky enough to get a private tour since no one else signed up that day. William was our tour guide and did a wonderful job of giving us so much Scottish history. A long day went so fast and was perfectly paced. 5 stars to the Rabbie’s tours for not canceling just because we were the only booking.
