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.
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.
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
1:25000 map. Has anyone done the walk from Distillery to Distillery? I don't suppose theres public transport ?
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).
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.
