Glencadam Distillery

Reviewed By 377MikeD - London, United Kingdom

An amazing tour of a distillery that that started in 1825 and still uses traditional methods to create their Single Malt. Tours are restricted to a small group, ours being just two people. We learnt so much about how the final flavour is created by techniques from the malting process to using copper during distilling. We would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Brechin or the Angus area.

Edzell Castle and Garden

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. The beautiful walled garden at Edzell is one of Scotland's unique sights, created by Sir David Lindsay in 1604. Edzell was home to the Lindsays, a gifted yet tragic noble family whose head became the Earl of Crawford and one of the most powerful men in the realm. The Lindsay’s most famous guests include Mary Queen of Scots in 1562 and her son James VI in 1580 and 1589. The 'Pleasance' is a delightful formal garden with walls decorated with sculptured stone panels, flower boxes and niches for nesting birds. Explore the summer house, the great garden, the 16th century tower house and Lindsay Aisle - the family burial vault.

A wonderful cathedral...with history on site dating from King Freddy the 2nd! (971). Allow time to peruse the interior and study the stained glass windows. There is a leaflet guide.
