Whisky Galore

.page-id-3249

Overview

Take some time and explore all the options and whisky experiences that available to you at Dewars of Aberfeldy  and Blair Athol in Pitlochry. Choosing both distilleries for comparison will make it a rewarding day of "Whisky Galore".  

Depending on what experience you choose, for example, Aberfeldy, a guided tour with whisky tasting is 45 minutes whilst a Connoisseur Tour is 2 hours long, you might want to adjust the recommended tour and optional stops to suit your own personal timescale,  

Pitlochry is a small and quaint little town, popular with tourists and locals alike,  and is a perfect place  to have that well deserved break, with a selection of great places to shop, eat, or just relax.  

For those who want to combine a Whisky Distillery experience with something different, perhaps for the other guests in your  party, then the stunningly beautiful Scone Palace that has been the setting for the Coronation of Scottish Kings, it will not  disappoint. Perth is home to the “Stone of Destiny” which you can see at the Perth Museum and a short walk away you will  find interesting works at Perth Art Gallery. 

You can experience how the Scottish “Iron Age” style of life some 2,500 years ago was lived, with these loch-dwellings known as  “Crannogs” this stop is ideally paired with a Aberfeldy Whisky distillery visit, and allows you see one of Scotlands most beautiful lochs, the 14 mile long, Loch Tay, and the small village of Kenmore, home of the private Taymouth Castle.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Outstanding Day with David! We had an absolutely fantastic day with David and Beyond St Andrews. From beginning to end, he was far more than simply our driver — he genuinely became part of what made the day so memorable. David was personable, knowledgeable, funny and incredibly easy to spend the day with. His knowledge of the area was outstanding, and as an avid golfer, he seemed to know virtually every golf course we passed — along with some wonderful stories and local insight that you simply wouldn’t get touring on your own. The black Mercedes V-Class was beautiful and extremely comfortable, but the real highlight was David himself. Nothing felt rushed or scripted. The entire day was relaxed, interesting and fun, and his personality turned what could have simply been transportation and sightseeing into one of the highlights of our time in Scotland. We’ve traveled extensively and have used many private drivers and guides over the years, and David is exactly what you hope for when booking this type of experience. If you’re considering Beyond St Andrews, ask for David. We would book with him again without hesitation. Five stars aren’t enough!

Laurie and David were very knowledgeable, warm and lovely to be around. They were also flexible as to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. We would highly recommend Beyond St. Andrews and will definitely use them again on our next trip to Scotland!

Whilst on holiday with my father, I used this company to help me explore the surrounding areas. I found Laurie to be very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and would definitely recommend his services and would definitely use him again.

I wanted to step outside of St Andrews and opted for the City of Discovery tour to include all 'Recommended Stops', it did not disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised by the history and museums of Dundee, and were pleased with the advice and knowledge that Laurie offered, and of course, the luxury mode of travel!

We chose the “Heart of Scotland” tour and enjoyed an exceptional day exploring its many memorable sights. Our first stop was the Wallace Monument, where a shuttle bus took us from the car park to the base. We then climbed the 246 steps—phew—up the narrow spiral staircase, with three welcome levels along the way to catch our breath and learn more about William Wallace. From the summit, the countryside views were spectacular; on a clear day like ours, you could see for miles. Just three miles further on, we reached Stirling Castle and the Church of the Holy Rude. The castle’s rich history was captivating, and the excellent free local guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, as were all the staff. On our way back to St Andrews, we ended the tour at dusk beneath the Forth Road Bridge, which was stunning. Scotland is a truly beautiful and striking country. Our host Laurie answered all our questions thoughtfully and gave us time to chat among ourselves, without the constant commentary often found on guided tours. We highly recommend this excursion and will definitely book another tour with the Company the next time we return to St. Andrews. Many thanks to the Beyond St Andrews team for making both the booking and the tour such a pleasure. Bobby and friends.

We arranged a trip with Beyond St Andrews to Glamis Castle in Sept, 2025 and had a truly wonderful experience. The Mercedes van used by Beyond St Andrews provided a very pleasant travel experience on some narrow and windy roads. Our driver Laurie provided excellent coverage of local places and events on the journey. On arrival we were dropped off at the entrance to Glamis Castle with detailed advice provided by Laurie on how to make the best of the visit. We spent a very nice afternoon on the guided tour of the castle, visiting the various sites around the grounds. The Castle Kitchen Restaurant was highly recommended by Laurie and the food there was excellent, we had the Glamis Bridie a tasty pastry parcel of venison. The reference to the “Thanes of Glamis” in Shakespeare's play MacBeth was highlighted by some amazing wood sculptures, in the MacBeth Loop, depicting scenes from the play. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and the journey back to St Andrews was very pleasant with Laurie providing an entertaining guide to points of interest in the area. Dundee was navigated with ease, and we were very pleased with our outing to Glamis Castle and would highly recommend Beyond St Andrews. Alan and Alison Ottawa, Canada

Five stars all the way. Our trip from St Andrews to The Macallan Distillery was fantastic, and Beyond St Andrews made the whole experience feel special. The vehicle was incredibly comfortable, clean, and relaxing, which made the drive just as enjoyable as the destination itself. The service was amazing from beginning to end. Everything was handled so professionally, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the trip. It was smooth, stress-free, and felt like a truly premium experience. Visiting Macallan was already a highlight of our time in Scotland, and Beyond St Andrews made getting there and back a real pleasure. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a comfortable, first-class experience.
