So, I've long wanted to go to Scotland and Edinburgh for the whisky and food. Looking to make use of my summer hours at work by booking a long weekend for myself and the girlfriend. Ideally I'd like at least a day/night in Edinburgh and then a day or two at (bear with me) some lovely country hotel out in the middle of nowhere that does amazing food - but near a good distillery as well to do a tour.
However even though I'm a whisky fan I know nothing of the geography. I'm guessing we'd either fly/train to Edinburgh and hire a car for the latter. I prefer Speyside or Lowland whiskies (nothing peaty) so if that's to be taken into account... mind you I honestly wouldn't mind going anywhere else befitting the 'experience'.
Just looking for itinerary ideas for anyone who's done something similar. Thanks
