Day trip from Edinburgh

Day trip from Edinburgh

It’s our last day in Scotland.  Definitely have to come back and spend more time so we can go further north, but will save that for a better time of the year when it’s not so cold.  Headed off this morning taking the coast road around Fife after crossing the Firth of Forth on a huge bridge.  Travelled up to Dundee – didn’t stop for a game of golf at St. Andrews as the wind was so strong any ball moving more than two feet off the ground would have ended up in the North Sea.  Dundee was interesting but big – owes its history to the jute industry and whaling.

Someone likes their Whisky

Drove on from there to Perth.  The smaller the towns get the more appealing they are.  Had to follow my nose on to Crieff a very pretty town as well as being the home of The Famous Grouse Whiskey (my favourite at the time).  After an interesting distillery tour we hopped back into the car (with a bottle tucked under my arm) headed back to Edinburgh via Stirling from the west completing the loop.  Quite and easy and pleasant days drive.

What’s the difference between Scottish Whisky and Irish Whiskey? The “e”.
