The Perfect Scotland Road Trip Itinerary for the Whisky Lover

Scotland, with its rugged landscapes and rich history, is a dream destination for whisky aficionados. From the rolling hills of the Highlands to the picturesque islands, the journey is a tapestry of breathtaking scenery and distillery visits. For the ultimate whisky lover’s adventure, consider a road trip in a campervan, offering the flexibility to explore Scotland at your own pace. VDUBLINE is an excellent choice for campervan hire, providing stylish and reliable vehicles that ensure a comfortable and memorable experience.

Day 1-2: Edinburgh to Speyside

Begin your whisky journey in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital. Start with a visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience, where you can get an introduction to the world of Scotch whisky. From there, head north towards Speyside, the heartland of whisky production. With a VDUBLINE campervan, you can enjoy the scenic drive without the hassle of hotel bookings. Settle in at a local campsite and prepare for a whisky-packed adventure.

Day 3-4: Speyside Distilleries

Speyside boasts some of the most famous distilleries, including Glenfiddich, Macallan, and Aberlour. Spend these days exploring the area’s distilleries, each offering unique tours and tastings. Glenfiddich, for example, provides a fascinating glimpse into its history with a range of tasting experiences. A campervan gives you the flexibility to visit multiple distilleries in one day and return to your cosy home on wheels.

Day 5-6: The Highlands

Travel west from Speyside into the Highlands. The dramatic landscapes are dotted with charming distilleries like Dalwhinnie and Blair Athol. The Highlands offer stunning views, so make sure to take your time enjoying the scenery. The VDUBLINE campervan will let you soak in the beauty of places like Loch Ness and Ben Nevis, with plenty of opportunities to pull over and marvel at the vistas.

Day 7-8: Isle of Skye

The Isle of Skye is a must-visit for whisky lovers. The island is home to several renowned distilleries, including Talisker. The journey to Skye is a highlight in itself, with rugged coastlines and mountain views. The freedom of a campervan allows you to explore the island’s remote areas and find the best spots for whisky enjoyment and scenic beauty.

Day 9-10: Return to Edinburgh

Conclude your trip by driving back to Edinburgh. Along the way, stop by any missed distilleries or revisit your favourites. VDUBLINE’s campervans offers a comfortable ride for the journey home, allowing you to reflect on your whisky adventure and plan your next trip.

With VDUBLINE’s campervan hire, Scotland’s whisky trail becomes an unforgettable adventure, combining the freedom of the open road with the richness of Scotland’s whisky heritage. Cheers to an extraordinary journey!

Testimonials

"VDubline were so so great. I honestly couldn’t recommend this company anymore. They were friendly and professional in all aspects. Made the whole process for renting the vans enjoyable and exciting. We had a fab time and I will most definitely be going back for more adventures from these guys and their amazing vans"

Rosie Egan

"Had another few days with Betsy, on my own this time. She is so easy to drive and to operate that I felt quite happy taking off for my own little adventure. If you are thinking about it, do it. When you hit problems (like how to put the wing mirrors in, where to put the diesel in, how to lock the van from within at night so that the alarm doesn't go off when you move) you just ring Alex for help - or google the How To video and watch it properly"

Jacqui Grant

"From start to finish dealing with Alex at Vdubline was a real pleasure.Prior to pick up we received a video all about the van and how to operate it, which he covered again when we collected the immaculately clean van.Van drove superbly and was surprisingly comfy in spite of sleeping 3 adults.The equipment is maintained to the highest standards and we had no issues over the 3 nights we used the van.Return was just as smooth and efficient and we would definitely recommend Vdubline as excellent value for money.Thanks team."
