      Enjoy one of our finest and grandest tours through stunning mountain scenery and royal countryside, an area very special to the Scottish people and in particular to our Royal Family since before the time of Queen Victoria. Our Journey takes us over the mountains through the Highland Ski areas and some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. We visit Balmoral Castle and grounds (home of the Royal Family when in Scotland), a big brand distillery such as the Glen Livet, Glen Fiddich or the Macallan (by special appointment only). Alternatively, instead of a distillery, we can visit the Speyside Cooperage where they make the barrels for the whisky. Also on route we visit the highland towns of Braemar and Banchory (The former being the place of the Royal Highland Gathering every September) You also have opportunity to visit Crathie Kirk attended by the Royal family when in residence at Balmoral plus a fabulous little motor museum or perhaps another lovely castle etc. We stop for a nice lunch on route and altogther, we are sure you will have an amazing day!
