Off to Scotland!

[Olgaline]

So Having the hard tough horrid job that I do,
I've been sent off to Scotland by the boss monday-thursday
to sample, taste and view the whisky variety of Ian Macleod Distillers "aka f.exp Chieftans series" and the Isl of Arran destillery.

anywhoo, during the trip we have tuesday free to take in the sites in Edinburgh.

so any suggestions ?
apaprt from Edinbrugh castle and Royal mile ?

 

[Olgaline]

this will be my first ever trip to scotland btw.

Isn't the Edinburgh festival on atm if it is you will have plenty of options

 

[fettoken]

Buy me a souvenir!!

As Soze says, the Edinburgh festival is on just now, so there will be lots of things to do. Plenty of street theatre 5min performances to tempt you, and I'd imagine every pub will be full of life =)

I'm actually heading there today! Weyhey!

Oh, I forgot to be useful. Nr the Royal Mile, there's an exhibit of an underground street which has been preserved from Edinburgh's past. I hear its a good thing to see

yes. it's called Welcome | The Real Mary King’s Close and it's quite awesome. I've been there and it's spooky/gives you a grim insight into the lives of yesteryear.

edinburgh castle is alright, its like £10 to get in though and imo not worth it but it's only a tenner I guess, but edinburgh festival is great so go see that Take a rain jacket or umbrella, it's been fucking shit weather up here for the past 2 weeks.

You can also try edinburgh rock if you havn't before its quite unusual, I hate it but something to try lol.

 

[Ezteq]

I believe the ministry of burlesque is doing the High Tease there too ^^ that'd be well worth seeing, their shit is awesome.

Been to the distillery on the Isle of Arran, if you spend any time there i could recommend some spots on Arran. Although saying that nothing really comes to mind

 

[Olgaline]

Dont think we'll have any "free" time on Arran

 

[Olgaline]

So back from Scotland,
Had a Really great trip!

Edinburgh was fun, and arrana was Fantastic!
them that I has on the mugbook can go see picz "just a few from a crappy sony"

Glad I did preview week, the weather was good and the boozing was better. Saw some great comedy acts, Pappy's Fun Club were fucking funny.

It's a pity your work couldn't send you over to some of the distilleries on Islay. Now there's a pub crawl I'd love to do... all the distilleries of Islay in sequence. There truly is no such thing as a bad Islay single malt.

Islay Malt Whisky and Islay Whisky Distilleries Map

Laphroaig is my favourite, followed by Bunnahabhain and Caol Ila.

 

[Olgaline]

who says we cant ?
sure would be fine to see Islay, only thing really interesting
place for me on islay from a pure profesional point of view would be Kilchoman

 

[Olgaline]

I iz made'ed a group for us to go
all nerdy in about whisky and
other spirits an such

it's public so no need to sit around waiting on me to accept you
