Distillery Tours

No visit to the Scottish Highlands will truly be complete without taking a tour of a traditional Scottish distillery. Pitlochry is fortunate enough to have world-renowned distilleries at the heart of the town so you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to distillery tours.

Bell’s Blair Athol Distillery

The Bell’s Blair Athol Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Set in open moorland south of the town, in the foothills of the Grampian mountains, Blair Athol’s ancient source of water, the Allt Dour, flows through the grounds from the slopes of Ben Vrackie, contributing to the whisky’s, mellow quality and smooth finish.
