Enjoy a scenic journey across the water before stepping ashore for a guided walk through Campbeltown's whisky landscape. Hear the stories behind its rich distilling heritage, enjoy a dram, and sample traditional Scottish treats along the way. Your experience includes a visit to Glen Scotia Distillery, finishing with a tasting and lunch.

The distillery

Glen Scotia

Campbeltown was once the whisky capital of the world. Glen Scotia is one of the last distilleries standing in that historic Kintyre town — peated, unpeated, and steeped in seanchas.
