£400.00(Up to 6 people)
Step beyond Edinburgh and into the heart of the Scottish Lowlands on our Rosslyn Chapel & Glenkinchie Distillery – 5 Hours Private Tour. This half-day journey blends ancient mysteries, majestic castles, and the smooth character of Lowland whisky—crafted for those who love history, architecture, and an exceptional dram.
We begin with a visit to the legendary Rosslyn Chapel, famed for its ornate stone carvings, spiritual symbolism, and ties to the Knights Templar and The Da Vinci Code. Set in the village of Roslin, this 15th-century masterpiece is a treasure trove of intrigue and inspiration.
Next, we pass by Dalhousie Castle, a photogenic medieval fortress with a colourful royal past, before continuing to Glenkinchie Distillery—the Lowland home of Johnnie Walker. Here, you can explore traditional whisky-making, enjoy a guided tour, and optionally sample a flight of Glenkinchie’s finest single malts.
Before returning to Edinburgh, we make a final stop at the picturesque Duddingstone Village, nestled beside a peaceful loch. It’s the perfect place to pause and reflect before ending your immersive Lowland adventure.
