This is the year that I intend to do my Scottish tour but I have two options.
Option 1) I have always wanted to visit Islay (Think Laphroaig), the choice is flying up from Southampton to Islay for 2 days. or driving up from Hastings and travelling over from Kennacraig on Calmac Ferries for a day on the island.
Option 2) Driving up from Hastings to Speyside and touring some of local distilleries, for this I would allow a 5/6 day holiday sometime during late June or early July.
Any advice (other than buy a V8 AMG) would be appreciated.
My favourite malts are Laphroaig and Aberlour. if this helps.
For what it is worth I did get up to Scotland about 20 yrs ago in an old Ford Escort but was stuck in Stirling for 3 days whilst it was being repaired. I did enjoy my time in Stirling but am looking to get further north this time.
