Day 3 - Boat of Garten
Depart Kyle as breakfast is served and retrace part of
yesterday's route as far as Dingwall. Have your cameras ready for
the views of Plockton across the bay to the left, where you can see
white-washed cottages with fishing boats and yachts riding at
anchor. Disembark in Garve to visit Glen Ord Distillery, which is
one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, founded in 1838.
Situated on the edge of the Black Isle, west of Inverness, Glen Ord
continues to malt its own barley and to use the long fermentation
and slow distillation methods followed there for generations.
During your visit, enjoy a tour of the distillery as well as a
private tasting and nosing session. Travel south to Carrbridge
where you disembark where you disembark to explore romantic
Ballindalloch Castle on beautiful Speyside. Options at
Ballindalloch include a private castle tour, 9 holes of golf on the
castle's own course or an exclusive look at what is Scotland's only
single estate distillery. The night is spent on board at Boat of
Garten on the private Strathspey Railway. After an informal dinner,
our Highlander regales guests with tales and weaponry displays.
