Introduction

This evening, I am reprising a private tour of Strathpeffer in the Scottish Highlands and a nearby whisky distillery.

More information on Strathpeffer

First, we departed our excellent lodgings at Strathpeffer and then embarked on a short exploration of the village. This included the 7th century AD carved stone from the Pictish era and St. Anne’s Episcopal Church.

Srathpeffer is about 21 miles NW of Inverness. The name is of Brittonic (Welsh) origin and translates as ‘vale of the radiant stream’.

Next, we moved on to nearby Muir of Ord. Here guests joined a tour of the distillery, Glen Ord which lasted about one hour.

Next we drove to Beauly where we had a light lunch before returning to Muir of Ord. Guests were then deposited at designated address and tour concluded. An interesting ancestry and sightseeing tour centred on the N.W. Highlands of Scotland.
