Enjoy a ‘wee dram’ on a caravan break in Scotland

Caravanners can enjoy a taste of some of Scotland's finest whiskies this summer

Caravanners planning breaks in Scotland this spring may be planning to enjoy a wee dram during their time away.

With several whisky festivals and tours being planned in the coming months, there will be plenty of ways to get into the spirit of things.

In April, the Inverness Whisky Festival kicks off, with live music and plenty of tasting sessions with local distilleries.

This will be followed by the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival and the Islay Festival of Music and Malt in May. And if that’s not enough, there are whisky tours available in many of Scotland’s cities.

For example, in Glasgow, there’s a new bus tour taking passengers around the city’s whisky bars for informal tastings.

And in Edinburgh, the Scotch Whisky Experience shows foodies how to pair whisky with certain dishes.

There are numerous camping and caravan sites across Scotland providing basic and luxury touring accommodation.

The Caravan Club has ten sites across the region, from the Balbirnie Park site in Glenrothes to the Bunree site in Fort William.
