Private Lowland & Campbeltown 5 Day Whisky Tour

If you want to taste Scotland beyond the usual whisky headline acts, this private Lowland and Campbeltown whisky tour is a cracking choice. The Lowlands are known for smooth, elegant, approachable drams, often a perfect introduction, while Campbeltown brings a very different personality: maritime character, depth, and a proud whisky heritage packed into a small peninsula.

This tour is private and flexible, with a friendly, professional guide and an itinerary that can be adapted around the distilleries and tasting styles you're most interested in. You can follow a proven route featuring favourites like Glenkinchie, Kingsbarns, Lindores Abbey, Auchentoshan, Clydeside, Glen Scotia and Springbank, or we can tailor the order and experiences based on availability and your whisky preferences.

If you're ready for a multi-day whisky journey that combines city-to-coast scenery, historic distilleries, and standout tastings, book your Lowland and Campbeltown tour, and we'll help you shape the perfect route.

We begin with a pick-up from your accommodation or airport and head straight into whisky territory. We start at Auchentoshan in the Lowlands, a classic introduction to Lowland style, famous for triple distillation and a smooth profile, with tour and tasting options depending on availability.

From there we take a scenic drive west through Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, with comfort stops and photo opportunities, before stopping for lunch in Inveraray, a lovely lochside town and a great place to break the journey. We arrive in Campbeltown, Scotland's smallest whisky region, for distillery visits such as Glen Scotia and Springbank (subject to tour availability, which can be limited at certain times of year).

Overnight in Campbeltown.

Today bridges Lowland whisky and the journey to the Kintyre Peninsula, with excellent distillery visits before the scenery turns properly coastal. We start at the Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow, a great modern distillery tour that also connects nicely to the city's whisky and shipping heritage, before continuing to Auchentoshan, known for triple distillation and producing a famously smooth style, with tour and tasting options available depending on your preference.

From there we take the scenic drive down the Kintyre Peninsula, a beautiful route with sea views and excellent photo stops. If conditions are clear, you'll get those classic "edge of Scotland" coastal landscapes.

Overnight in Campbeltown.

A full day in one of Scotland's smallest and most characterful whisky regions, with big flavour and long history. We start at Glen Scotia, learning the story of a distillery that has helped keep Campbeltown's whisky identity alive, followed by a guided tasting. From there we visit Springbank Distillery, a must for enthusiasts and one of the most traditional operations in Scotland, producing Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn, each with a distinct style. Tours here are in high demand, so advance planning is essential.

We finish the day at Machrihanish, with time to explore the wider area and take in a stop tied to Campbeltown's broader whisky heritage and coastal setting. Depending on your preferred experiences and availability, we'll shape this afternoon to suit.

Overnight in Campbeltown.

Today, we journey east through changing landscapes, coastlines giving way to quieter Lowland scenery as we head toward Dumfries and Galloway. It's a scenic drive with comfort stops along the way, a great day to pace things gently, before we reach the Annandale Distillery in Annan, a restored historic distillery with an engaging tour and tasting that offers a slightly different Lowland style to round out the trip. It's a strong contrast after Campbeltown and a great "final chapter" distillery experience.

Overnight in the Annan or Dumfries area.

We finish the tour with a relaxed return north, plus a few last stops that are very much in the spirit of the trip. We stop in Moffat, a charming spot for the famously addictive Moffat Toffee, plus a chance for a final wander and coffee. If you'd like to end with something special, we can finish at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society venue in Edinburgh's Leith, or the Glasgow venue if that suits your travel plans- an excellent way to explore single cask, cask strength whiskies and pick up bottles you simply won't find on a standard shelf.

Drop-off in Glasgow or Edinburgh, as agreed.

This is private touring in the truest sense: your group, your pace, your whisky preferences. It brings together two distinct regions too, Lowland elegance and Campbeltown maritime depth, with smart routing that balances distilleries and scenery across the days. There are options built in throughout as well, from premium tastings and bottle shopping to whisky bars and other add-ons.

If Lowland smoothness and Campbeltown character sound like your kind of Scotland, book your private whisky tour, and we'll tailor the distillery visits and tasting experiences to suit your dates and your dram style.

If you're looking for the best way to experience Scotland's Lowland and Campbeltown whisky regions, one that's relaxed, well-guided, and takes proper time at each distillery rather than rushing between tastings, this is a brilliant way to explore two of Scotland's most distinctive whisky styles in one trip.
