3 day Scotland tour, starting Tue 10th August 2027

Alistair will collect you from your accommodation in Edinburgh, before setting off for Dunkeld.

We’ll pass across the famous bridges and stop for a view of the Forth Rail Bridge, the most spectacular of Scotland’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Dunkeld has for centuries been famed as the gateway to the highlands, with the river crossing here understood as the line separating the Gaelic speaking Highlands from the Scots and English speaking Lowlands. It is a beautiful stone town, rich in history.

We will then journey to the wooded hills behind the village to a hidden jewel: the bagpipe workshop of Hamish Moore. Hamish is the fifth generation of piper in his family, and it is a tradition he proudly bears. He and his son have been continuing to handcraft sets of pipes in Dunkeld for decades now, and are esteemed as some of the finest players and makers in the world.

We will get an exclusive tour of the bagpipe making workshop, not available through any other tour, and enjoy traditional Scottish tunes with Hamish.

Our lunch will be brought with us to the workshop. We will share a meal amongst 19th century furniture, with heritage crockery and – if needed – by a roaring fire. Lunch is included in the tour price.

For those that enjoy a dram, Alistair will introduce us to the national spirit with a personalised ‘Whisky Flight’. This is a sharing of numerous rare, unusual or exclusive bottlings of Scotland’s finest whiskies, with introductions to all of the distinct whisky regions within Scotland. This will be an informal and friendly introduction to whisky; there’s no need for expertise.

We’ll head to Dundee and check in to our accommodation
