Founded in 2004, Scottish Routes is one of Scotland’s longest-established whisky tour specialists.
For more than 20 years, we’ve been creating unforgettable whisky tours and distillery experiences for travellers from around the world. From the world-famous whisky regions of Speyside and Islay to the hidden corners of the Highlands and Campbeltown, we’ve helped thousands of guests discover the true spirit of Scotland.
Today, Scottish Routes remains a proudly Scottish family-owned business, specialising in small-group and bespoke whisky tours across Scotland. Whether you’re taking your first steps into the world of Scotch whisky or searching for exclusive distillery experiences, our team is passionate about sharing the people, places and stories behind every dram.
Of course, whisky is only part of the journey.
Scotland’s whisky regions are home to breathtaking landscapes, historic castles, dramatic coastlines and welcoming communities. That’s why our tours go beyond the distillery gates, combining exceptional whisky experiences with the scenery, history and culture that make Scotland so special.
We’ll take you to iconic distilleries, introduce you to hidden gems and help you experience Scotland through the eyes of those who know it best.
After all, the best whisky stories are the ones shared along the way.
Slàinte mhath! We look forward to welcoming you to Scotland.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE
Scotland’s landscapes, communities and whisky heritage are at the heart of everything we do. As a Scottish family-owned business, we believe tourism should leave a positive impact on the places we visit and the people who call them home.
That’s why we’re committed to responsible, low-impact travel both on tour and behind the scenes.
