Post Conference Tours
Glenkinchie
Whisky Distillery & East Lothian
From Edinburgh we drive to East
Lothian, (coach departs at 14:00 from Charlotte
Square, opposite side of Roxburghe Hotel) a region
well-known for its fertile farming land and here
we will firstly visit Glenkinchie Distillery.
Glenkinchie is set in 17 acres
of such farmland and there has been a distillery
on the same site since 1825. For some years, Glenkinchie
distillery produced a malt whisky only for blending
purposes, but it now markets its own single Malt
as part of the “Classic Malts” range
which features 6 very diverse malts from the best
whisky regions of Scotland. In the old malting house
there is also a museum containing old equipment
and models relating to the region’s rich farming
heritage as well as artefacts connected with whisky-making.
We will make a tour of the distillery
and see the different processes involved in making
Scotland's national drink, from the initial ingredients
to the end product - there will of course be time
for a taste of this Malt.
Our journey will then take us
eastwards to North Berwick on the coast from where
we will see the Bass Rock - a seabird sanctuary
before continuing to Dirleton where we can visit
the ruined castle and wander around the beautiful
award-winning gardens, before returning back to
Edinburgh.
Cost of tour: GBP 24.00 per person,
includes entrance fee to Glenkinchie Distillery
and tasting of 1 whisky.
Falkirk
Wheel Technical Visit
From Edinburgh we drive west
towards Falkirk, (coach departs at 14:00 from Charlotte
Square, opposite side of Roxburghe Hotel) to see
the world’s first and only rotating boat lift,
The Falkirk Wheel is quite simply unique.
The Falkirk Wheel is the spectacular
centrepiece of the £84.5 million ‘Millennium
Link', the UK’s largest canal restoration
project, developed by British Waterways to reconnect
the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde Canal,
re-establishing east to west coast access for boats.
