Our tour mini-bus left central Edinburgh at 8am (with only a slight delay for late arrivers - grrrr!) and we headed out first towards Stirling, where we saw its famous castle from a distance. We also passed Doune Castle, where much of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed, on our way to our first stop at Deanton Distillery. Here we had a brief tour of their still room and had time for a coffee.
We then headed through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park to Glencoe. Some amazing scenery...
We then passed through Fort William and on to Fort Augustus at the bottom of Loch Ness. We decided to take a one-hour cruise around the southern end of the Loch, which was also very scenic and, thanks to the weather conditions, quite atmospheric...
After that, the tour headed back to Edinburgh via Glen Spean, Pitlochry (where we went to the pub) and the Forth Road Bridge, arriving back at 8pm. So a long day with over 500 kilometers driven.
The pizza last night was so good we had another one tonight.
