Day 1
After departing Edinburgh you will head north into the highlands. The landscape becomes more mountainous and your guide will tell the history and culture of this stunning part of Scotland. You will make a brief visit to the attractive village of Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne. It is then a short drive down the Kintyre Peninsula to Kennacraig where you will board the evening ferry to Islay. The ferry crossing is around 2 hours and allows for some beautiful views of the islands of Gigha, Jura, and Islay as well as the area surrounding West Loch Tarbert. On arrival on Islay, you will visit the Bunnahabhain Distillery, with it's impressive views over to the island of Jura. Here you will enjoy a tasting of a range of Bunnahabhain expressions, before travelling to the village of Bowmore, where your will be staying for your three nights on the island.

There is an eating option for all budgets and tastes and with so much local produce on offer, you will be spoilt for choice. The whiskey bars aren’t too bad either. Slainte Mhath, as they say in Gaelic.
Day 4
After a final hearty breakfast, you catch the morning ferry back to Kennacraig. Arriving on the mainland, you head to the loch-side town of Inveraray. This is the seat of the clan Campbell, home to the Loch Fyne Whisky shop and your stop for lunch. After lunch (and some last-minute whiskey shopping), your journey now hugs the shores of Loch Fyne and Loch Long before climbing up to the Rest and being Thankful for the sweeping views.
Then it is to the shores of Loch Lomond. With time to stop for some lovely views and stretch of the legs, this is the last stop on your tour before crossing the River Clyde and into Scotland’s largest city Glasgow. Some of the guests may be leaving the tour there, so you may make a short stop in central Glasgow (George Square) before returning to Edinburgh.
Please note that due to various reasons (weather, closures, and special events), it may not always be possible to visit all the distilleries mentioned. Please be aware that, if this is the case, Scottish Route will ensure that suitable alternatives are found.
