Overview

Scenic Routes is your gateway to bespoke Speyside whisky tours, delivered with warmth, professionalism and deep local insight.
Founded by myself, David, over 10 years ago Inverness, I have now decided the time is right to step back from the physical aspect of touring.
I have in place a small team of expert driver-guides, who are not only colleagues but friends too.
I have set a very high standard and I can promise the same high-touch, premium experience across every journey.

Scottish Highlands

Guests will be able to visit several distilleries on Speyside. It’s about a 1 hour drive from Inverness to Speyside itself. I normally recommend one tour and a few tastings with a spot of lunch too. Here are just a few distilleries it would be possible to visit- Tomatin, Glenlivet, Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, Glenallachie, Glenfiddich and Speyburn to name a few.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
