Whisky Distillery Tour - Glenturret - Crieff - The Famous Grouse

A little about the tour:

Sitting just outside the town of Crieff is the oldest working distillery and the most visited distillery in Scotland. The famous grouse experience has got to be one of the best whiskey distillery tours in the world. You can experience the taste and smell plus a state of the art interactive tour. The distillery also has a wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy a wide range on the menu including some dishes that feature the finest scotch whiskey in its ingredients.

If you prefer more than just a distillery tour why not combine your distillery tour with sightseeing or guided tour of the surrounding country side.

There is a lot on offer for everyone including things to keep the kids happy with a visit to the Auchingarrich wildlife centre www.auchingarrich.co.uk just 8 miles from Crieff set in 100 acres of beautiful Perthshire hills.

21 miles from Crieff is one of Scotland's most treasured monuments - The Wallace Monument www.nationalwallacemonument.com.

The monument was completed in 1869, and is 220 feet high. It was from this site in 1297 that William Brave heart Wallace watched the English army approach Stirling Bridge, before he led the Scots into battle and victory. From the top of the Monument you can see some magnificent views of Stirling and beyond.

If you are a fan of the Monty Python movies then a visit to Doune castle is a must. www.perthshire-scotland.co.uk. Doune Castle 19 miles from Crieff is a magnificent late 14th century castle with a dramatic look. The Castle was famously used as the setting for Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Whatever you prefer Butler's Chauffeur drive would be more than happy to tailor a tour to your requirements.
