Edinburgh – Scotch Whisky Trail
Most people are aware that Scotland is the home of true Scottish Whisky. What I was not aware of is that they have Scotch Whisky Trails for tourists. We have no information about the Whisky Trail on our website but the TOURIST INFORMATION section for Weekends in Edinburgh has an interesting recommended reading list which includes a complete guide for single malt scotch.
Scotch Whisky is to Scotland what Champagne is to France – true Scotch Whisky can only come from Scotland just as true Champagne can only come from France. You see, the secret lies in the water and the unique taste of the Whisky apparently is determined by many ingredients but the most important ingredient is the water.
Scotland’s legendary spirits, the malt whiskies have been produced for centuries in the Scottish lowlands and highlands. The original malt whiskies or Uisge Beatha, which is Gaelic for water of life, is still been produced today.
The Scotch Whisky Trails (and there are many) to the lowland distilleries are an easy day trip from Edinburgh. Our website (INDIGOGUIDE) has contact details of the Edinburgh Tourist Information Centre for further information on the trails. While you are on this page, check out the other activities we recommend for a weekend in Edinburgh. You can also contact the Scotch Whisky Association in Edinburgh on: + 44 (0)131 222 9200 or click on THE SCOTCH WHISKY ASSOCIATION and check out the details of the Whisky Trail on their website.
