Your 2nd day starts with a visit to the Dolphin centre at Spey Bay where you might be lucky enough to see dolphins in the Moray Firth.

We then follow the coastal road to the ancient village of Cullen and its fantastic beach, where you have the opportunity of taking a refreshing, scenic walk along the beach and some of the sea cliffs to the famous rock of the Bow Fiddle, before returning to the village to explore and have lunch.

We then follow the coastal trail with stops at the pretty villages of Portsoy, used in the filming of Whisky Galore, and then on to Pennan, filming location for Local Hero, for a quick visit and photos.

We then travel to explore the majestic 800 year old Fyvie Castle and Gardens before heading back to Elgin to stay overnight.

Day 3 starts with a visit to the historic ruins of Elgin Cathedral, after which we head back into whisky country for either a tour or a tasting of our ‘water of life’ at a distillery of your choice in the area.

We then head to the pretty town of Forres to visit the Ancient Pictish Sueno’s Stone and then explore the town to have lunch.

We will then travel to the town of Nairn to have a long walk on the beach and work off your lunch.
