We left our lovely guesthouse and made our way to Dufftown to ride the whisky line from Dufftown to Keith. After a charming chug through the Scottish countryside we arrived in Keith, a lovely wee village.

Seeing as we had some time to spare it would be rude not to visit a distillery so we nipped in by the Strathisla distillery to sample their wares.

Unfortunately beyond a sniff and a taste Katrine did the lion’s share of drinking as I had driving duties ahead. Still it was a great experience and the setting was lovely.

After our tasting we caught the train back to Dufftown and onward to Elgin then onto the evening’s entertainment, Speyfest.

Despite us both being a little travel weary, Speyfest didn’t disappoint. The music was great, especially Calum Stewart and the utterly amazing Talisk!
