Celtic Whiskey Shop Highlands Trip...

[JohnM]

Please see below the itinerary for a 2 day (1 night) trip to the Scottish Highlands to visit 4 of Scotland’s finest distilleries. Places are limited to 24 as one of the restaurants only has 24 chairs! Prices are €415 for double room occupancy and €450 for single room occupancy. The price covers flights, coach transfers, 2 lunches (including the award winning The Cross Restaurant), 4 distillery visits, 1 dinner at Dowans Hotel, accommodation and breakfast. Places are available on a first come first served basis and a booking is only confirmed once I receive a €200 deposit.
