Guides
How to plan the day, how to get there, and what the whisky, gin, beer and golf on this map are actually like.
How to plan a Highlands whisky trip
A base town, one booked visit, and the walk, the brewery, or the round that fills the rest.
Getting there
Trains, coaches and ferries to the places on this map, from the cities out to the islands.
Whisky or whiskey
The glass made its mind up years ago. You are only slightly late.
How to taste
A few quiet minutes with one glass, then the walk, the harbour, or the train.
Whisky flavours
Four families of flavour, and the visits on this map that usually sit in each one.
Gin botanicals
Juniper first, then citrus, flower, or spice. The visit is the point.
Beer, and the brewery door
A lager in Glasgow, ale from the oak at Traquair, or a flight in the taproom. The visit is the pint's front door.
A round of golf
Visitor courses on the Fife, East Lothian, Angus and Ayrshire coasts, inland, and on the islands. The round likes the day to itself.
The rest of the day
A walk, a spa, a chocolate counter, or a family outing, once the visit has its hour. Or instead of one.
