Oh and maybe even a legendary hairy Highland cow. On the spectacular scenic drive you will be able to relax and listen to Scottish music on the sound system. You will hear about key points and people in Scottish history, such as Mary Queen of Scots, the Scottish Wars of Independence (the truth behind Braveheart), the Romans, the Vikings, Jacobite's and more. If you wish to partake in a Distillery Tour from £15 please go to the Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery website to make an advanced booking for 2/3pm.

Total drive time is around 4 hours. Please be advised that and age restriction applies for this tour of 18 and over.
