- Maureen B3 contributionsWe had a really great Gin Tour at Holyrood Distillery! First we got a cocktail and sat down listening to Bryce telling us all about the history of Gin which was interesting en greatly told. Then we went to the distillery, learned about the proces of making Gin and started the tasting, but also creating combinations and making a cocktail.

- Nockster31Edinburgh, UK116 contributionsA group of us recently did a walking whisky tour with Justine, she was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and not phased by anything including the ‘colourful locals’. We all had a great time and found her tour really engaging, with the whisky at the end a real bonus and tailored to the tour.
I would certainly recommend this tour, even if you know about whisky you will learn something from Justine.Written 22 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place has a genuine old world charm, both in the old buildings but especially in the friendly and helpfulness of the people. While many European towns have charm, many of them seem primarily sales driven. Whereas in Scotland, there seemed to be and underlying gratitude that we were there. I heartily recommend a taking a 4-hour train ride to Edinburgh and introducing yourself to the place next time you're in London!
