Elgin....Grant and Fiddich

Elgin apart from being a pleasant little market town in the Highlands is also home to Gordon and MacPhail the Fortnum and Mason of Scotland.  An old attractive building containing a huge selection of Malt Whiskies.....over 1000 plus a large quality wine cellar and a delicatessen you could spend hours in.

The whiskies range from 35 pounds to over 15000.....a  little out of our league but a selection that is totally confusing unless you can narrow down your choice a little.

$24,000 this baby.  Maybe we'll buy a case! Maybe not!

After buying toffee at Thorntons and fresh pork pies at a butcher who we couldn't understand we headed south again to visit Glen Grant and Glen Fiddich before heading back to the Dufftown Golf Club to pick up Mark and Barb who had been playing the mountain goat course.......massive elevations!!

Grant and Fiddich are the two distilleries who, more than any other, cater to visitors.  The grounds are staggering.....Grant has 20 acres of Victorian gardens.  Fiddich has wash rooms that could only be found in the finest of hotels anywhere in the world.

Like my new car!

So we still have more to do before heading down to Yorkshire on Saturday via Edinburgh.
