BEST Whisky Tour Ever! And Trains. [CC]
Dougal and I do a Whisky Tour with a difference. Inspired by the Malt Whisky Trail, we visit Glenfiddich in Dufftown, then take the Keith to Dufftown Heritage Railway to Keith where on an earlier visit I had visited the Strathisla distillery. A brilliant day out in Speyside!
Full disclosure: The distillery tours and visit to the Cooperage were arranged by the Malt Whisky Trail and provided by the companies visited for the magazine article that I am in the area to produce. A HUGE thank you to Eleanor at Malt Whisky Trail for arranging these.
The Malt Whisky Trail Website is a great resource to plan your Whisky Trip - check it out here:
A great place to start is the Speyside Cooperage to watch the casks being made or refurbished:
In Dufftown we visited the Glenfiddich Distillery:
In Keith we visited the Strathisla Distillery where I heartily recommend the Blending Experience, which includes 5 premium whiskies, and the opportunity to blend your own 20cl bottle of whisky... sampling your blend as often as you like! It finishes with a another generous measure at the bar! All are available to take-away if you are driving:
PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY. You don't want to end up in the state of the fellow passengers we were sharing the outward train journey with... :-/
We had lunch in the Sidings Cafe:

Tomintoul is a village in the Moray council area of Scotland; until 1975 it was in the county of Banffshire. It is said to be the highest village in the Scottish Highlands, but at 345 m is still much lower than the highest village in Scotland. The village was laid out on a grid pattern by the 4th Duke of Gordon in 1775. It followed the construction, twenty years previously, of a military road by William Caulfeild – now the A939. By 1841 the parish reached a population of 1,722. In 1951 this had fallen to just 531. The 2001 census reveals a village population of 322 with the total parish population now unavailable.
The 2004 film One Last Chance starring Kevin McKidd and Dougray Scott was filmed in the village and the areas around it. Despite its small size, it is on the famed Whisky Trail, which also includes Dufftown, Keith, Tomnavoulin, and Marypark. The surrounding countryside forms the Glenlivet Estate Tomintoul Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1897. The club and course disappeared at the time of WW2.
The Gordon Arms Hotel saw significant improvement in the 1990s when it was lavished with funds from the media-styled 'Lord Tony Williams'. It is a myth that villagers referred to Tony Williams as 'Lord': this was a media invention. Chiefly of interest to genealogists, James Stuart (1791–1874), a local farmer at Lynchork (pronounced Linnahork) appears in a number of birth, baptism, death and Kirk Session records in this and surrounding parishes as the admitted or reputed father of children of his female servants.
Grigor Willox was a reputed white witch who lived in Tomintoul in the 18th century. He was said to derive his powers from two amulets: a brass hook from a kelpie's bridle and a mermaid's crystal. Among his alleged powers were making cows produce milk, curing barren women, and detecting thieves.

Places to see in ( Elgin - UK )
Elgin is a former cathedral city and Royal Burgh in Moray, Scotland. Elgin is the administrative and commercial centre for Moray. The town originated to the south of the River Lossie on the higher ground above the floodplain. Elgin is first documented in the Cartulary of Moray in 1190 AD. It was created a Royal Burgh in the 12th century by King David I of Scotland and by that time had a castle on top of the present day Lady Hill to the west of the town.
The modern town straddles the River Lossie, with the suburbs of Bishopmill to the north and New Elgin to the south. Permo-Triassic rocks, rare in Scotland, are commonly found around Elgin. These are composed of aeolian sandstone formed when this area was subjected to desert conditions. Quarry Wood, on the town's edge, has a formation nicknamed Cuttie's Hillock which produced the internationally known fossils called the Elgin Reptiles. In the Elgin district, boulders belonging to the lowest group of Jurassic strata, Oxford clay and chalk are found both in glacial deposits and on the surface of the ground. The largest of these deposits is at Linksfield, where limestone and shale lie on boulder clay. There is a large hill in downtown Elgin, often viewed as the highlight of the Elgin tourist trail.
Elgin is situated on the A96 trunk route which connects the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. Heavy traffic through the town causes serious congestion. Scottish transport minister Tavish Scott visited the town in August 2006 to look at the traffic management problems and to meet campaigners for a bypass. It is estimated that a bypass would remove about one third of traffic from Elgin's streets. The A941 runs from Lossiemouth through Elgin to Rothes, Craigellachie, Dufftown and Rhynie. Elgin railway station is operated by Abellio ScotRail. The railway also connects to Aberdeen and Inverness which have trains to other UK destinations. Elgin's bus station is operated mainly by Stagecoach, and provides services within Elgin and to other local towns as well as to Aberdeen and Inverness. There is a 'Jet' bus service which runs to the Inverness Airport at Dalcross, Inverness has flights to mainly UK destinations while Aberdeen airport has UK and international flights.
