Glendronach Distillery & The Highlands
Glendronach is A Highland Whiskey from Forgue, near Huntly, in Aberdeenshire. There were some other distilleries I wanted to tour, but they were closed for maintenance, or booked full. Glendronach is a small-to-medium sized distillery founded in 1826 by James Allardes. It has been closed and reopened, bought and sold, over the years. I prefer Speyside whiskies to Highlands, but this one is quite nice.
Next I headed into the Highlands toward Inverness, passing the village of Keith, and the Duke of Gordon’s Monument on Lady Hill in Elgin. Then I drove alongside Loch Ness and had a genuine Nessie sighting!
Highland Bear Lodge
I stayed in a cabin at Highland Bear Lodge, a lush woodland setting near Loch Ness.
