A guide to Edinburgh

I’ve finally compiled a list of recommendations for my favourite city: Edinburgh! Which I’ll also continuously add to as I find more things.

I was so excited to head up north for a press trip to Speyside with the Malt Whisky Trail to explore different distilleries in the region.

Today I popped along to experience the new Darnley’s Gin Experience in Edinburgh! Definitely a tasty and interesting evening.

I couldn’t resist going for a festive Afternoon Tea after walking past The Bonham on my daily walk. The interior is just so alluring!

It’s so fun to see whisky distillation make a return to Glasgow. Clydeside distillery is situated in an old Pumphouse, right by the Clyde.

Had a lovely day trip to Fife to check out Kingsbarns & Darnleys Gin Distillery. A perfect combination of gin and whisky!

These sure are some strange and uncertain times due to COVID-19 and it is good to see the distillery make an effort to open up safely again!

The other day I was lucky enough to be invited to a trade visit to Lindores Abbey! A piece of whisky history that is once more distilling.

On our Summer Holiday to Speyside we spontaneously decided to book a tour at Glenfiddich Distillery as we were passing by!

Aberfeldy Distillery is tucked away in a scenic location in the Highlands about a 2 hour drive from Edinburgh and has some lovely whisky!
