Whilst we are in Scotland .........

Within walking distance from which camp site? And what distance is your walking distance? Will be glad to help, but I'm afraid there is a camp site within a walking distance from virtually any distillery in Scotland ;-)

The Bells Blair Athol Distillery in Pitlochry is near the train station (London to Inverness GNER). The Edradour distillery is at the back of Pitlochry a few miles.

Sorry not more than 1 mile

Well If you go to Oban there's also a destillery in town

We've just returned and very much enjoyed the Oban Distillery tour in Oban on the west coast. The Distillery is no more than a 5 minute walk from the Oban train station.

Have a great trip!

Go to Bladnoch , Raymond has a camp site at the distillery !!!

A few distillerys I've visited 'by train':

- Ben Nevis Distillery near Fort William; 15 min. walk from the train station in Fort William - IIRC there is also bus stop near the distillery.

- Oban Distillery in Oban; 5 min. walk from the train station in Oban.

- Glen Ord Distillery near Muir of Ord; 15 min. walk from the train station in Muir of Ord.

and some more which should be easy reachable by train:

- Strathisla Distillery in Keith

- Benromach Distillery near Forres

- Clynelish Distillery, Brora

- Blair Athol Distillery, Pitlochry

HTH, urs

Taking a moment's reflection, Steffen Bräuner mused: | | Well If you go to Oban there's also a destillery in town

I believe that's less than 1 mile from the train/bus depot too! ;-)

Thanks to everyone that replied I think I'll be off to the blair atholl distillery near the campsite at pitlochry

Now you're talking... While in Pitlochry you cannot miss Edradour - the smallest Scottish distillery and arguably the most ... I don't know ... cute one. With just a pair of virtually mini-stills, just three people operating the whole operations (mind you, there will be considerably more of them taking care of the visitor centre), and superb whisky. I last visited Edradour shortly before it was taken over by Signatory, and at that time admission to the distillery was free of charge. Hope that hasn't changed. And you got a complimentary dram _before_ visiting the rest of the works. So you could just skip the boring stuff and join the next group of visitors for another dram... ;-))) Just kidding, there is nothing _boring_ about Edradour.

I know I'd much prefer to visit this but its the walk that puts me off. There is no chance of drink and drive so we have to go by road 2 miles or across trackless wooded terrain or so it seems from the OS

Believe me it's worth it. I've seen them both, and Edradour would be my first choice to visit. Also, 2 miles is not that far away. You could always get a lift - there are lots of whisky buffs on their way there (in their cars, that is).

Cheers, Rajmund

I went and it was well worth it you get a free dram and no admission price, In the shop I went for sinatorys no chill filtered edition of edradour looking forward to trying it.
