On the Highlands Whisky Trail

This drive is Scotland distilled: the route runs through a landscape of

brooding mountains and sparkling rivers, dotted with picture-book

castles, barrel-makers and world famous whisky producers. Starting

from Inverness, the drive visits Culloden to see the site of the famous

battle, continues to Cawdor Castle, then heads north to enjoy

some dolphin watching on the Moray coast. Heading south

through Speyside, the home of whisky, visitors get the

chance to taste a dram or two, before travelling back in

time at the Grampian Transport Museum. On reaching

the east coast, there are spectacular craggy cliffs at

Dunnottar Castle, before the drive ends at the

historic granite city of Aberdeen.
