After lunch in Pitlochry, you can sample the delights of Scotland’s highest distillery at Dalwhinnie, near the source of the River Spey.

You travel back up the Spey River to Craigellachie for a visit to the Speyside Cooperage*, where you see another aspect of the whisky making process. After lunch here or in nearby Aberlour, you visit Glenfiddich Distillery, home to the world’s most popular single malt.
