Scottish Routes

Day 2

With 2 full days to explore, there are plenty of options for sightseeing and your guide will share some of their favorite places with you. These can include empty beaches, whitewashed villages, ancient sites, the Kildalton Cross, medieval strongholds, fresh seafood, local wildlife and traditional cultures. With only around 3000 people and 8 world class distilleries, the chances of finding a 'wee dram' on Islay are pretty good. The distillery and whisky experiences will give you an insight into Islay's most famous export. Your day includes a warehouse experience at Lagavulin, lunch and a tour at Ardbeg and a look at the Laphroaig maltings.

The Islay Scotch We Purchased



Tastings We Took With Us

With visiting 3 distilleries in one day we could not drink all the samples we were offered. However they provided bottles so we could take home some of the samples that we could not finish at the Scotch Tasting at the distilleries.
