Culcreuch Castle Hotel is an excellent base to learn more about Scotland's world famous export, malt whisky.
The Glengoyne Distillery is only a few miles from Culcreuch Castle and has a popular Visitor Centre.
Only a few more miles will take you to the Auchentoshan Distillery, which also welcomes visitors.
Tullibardine, Scotland's most accessible Malt Whisky Distillery, with Visitor Centre, Shop & Cafe, is located on the main A9 road between Stirling and Perth, around 45 minutes from Culcreuch Castle. Watch the Tullibardine video, with thanks to "Stirling on video".
Please note that you must be "at least 18 years of age or the minimum legal age for purchasing alcohol in your country of residence" to access the Distillery web site links above.
Alternatively, and provided of course that you are at least of the legal age to partake, you can save time and sample a wide selection of fine malt whiskies from all around Scotland in Culcreuch Castle Hotel's very own cosy Castle Bar and Dungeon Diner.
