Mile at 10.15hrs. We travel East to the
charming East Lothian village of
Pencaitland, where Glenkinchie
Distillery is situated. This is the only
remaining Malt Whisky Distillery in the
Edinburgh area. It is surrounded by the
rolling hills and fresh water burns of
the Lammermuir Hills whose soft waters
contribute to the classic taste of this
fine malt whisky. On our guided tour we

Scotland 's national drink. After we
leave the Distillery we will drive

world wide for its beauty, its carvings
and of course the aura of mystery and
magic which is present in this
magnificent building. Also with its
Masonic and Knights Templar Associations
and the legend of the Holy Grail. This

selling book and the movie "The Da Vinci
Code". After a day spent in fascinating
company we arrive back in Edinburgh for

 Find
out...
Who was responsible for The Great Stink
in 1858?
What was Sir Christopher Wren doing in
that basket?
And who would want to hide under the
King's bed?
It was said of Old London Bridge that
´it was made for wise men to go over and
fools to go under´. The river ran very
fast through its 19 arches and boatmen
had to be very skillful not to get
dashed to pieces shooting through. It
was much safer to walk across the
bridge!
In the 1660s London Bridge was the only
bridge across the river. Houses and
shops were built on it and the heads of
traitors were stuck on spikes at the
entrance as a warning to others. |
