explore the essence of our culture, history and our national drink
from the solway coast to the hills of galloway along the river nith
Scotland starts here, where history and whisky was made and more battles fought than anywhere further North. Where our national poet Robert Burns was inspired and where prehistoric people raised standing stones and hill top forts. Where the Pedal Bicycle that changed the world was invented by our unsung hero Kirkpatrick MacMillan.
Experience tradition in drink and food, made welcome by those who live here - you will love the landscape, the slow pace and the beauty of sea, river and mountain.
The trip is in collaboration with Annandale Distillery, for you to explore their award winning whisky and their ongoing interest in preserving culture and history and traditions.
Annandale Distillery was founded in 1830 by George and Margaret Donald producing memorable peated whisky and was later bought by the world famous Johnnie Walker brand. An amazing restoration project began in 2007 and now Annandale's single malt whisky is recognised as world class.
