The latest news from Thistle Excursions

Trip to Singleton Distillery and Dunrobin Castle

Posted on

Our tour guide June from Thistle tours did an amazing job hosting our small group. Like other reviews, this a "choose your own adventure" itinerary based on your groups needs and the time you have available. For example we couldn't fit in the Black Rock Gorge trip because your cruise ran late to dock and our group prioritized whiskey tasking. Additionally you don't have time for all the whiskey distilleries on the list so don't plan on hitting every single one. It's just not possible to fit it all in one day.

When booking your tour please choose carefully which castle you wish to visit. Either Cawdor, Urquhart or Dunrobin. You can visit one on your tour but when doing the Cawdor visit you will see Urquhart beside Loch Ness in the background, but you do not visit both.  Time does not allow.
