Few things are guaranteed to get a whisky fan more excited than a trip to one of the country's top distilleries.

With Scotland as the home of whisky, it is hardly surprising that there are so many amazing distilleries for enthusiasts to visit. There is an abundance of choices, from the Borders all the way up to Orkney.

Nestled on the banks of the River Clyde, Clydeside Distillery is a captivating sight with its renovated pump house and striking glass-fronted still house. Mariella said: "I fell in love with Clydeside when I first visited two years ago. They had so much information about the Whisky Barons and Glasgow's historical role as a centre for merchants and commerce."

"Historic elements like dunnage warehouses and furnace chambers from the distillery's days of coal firing are in evidence, along with purifiers – a bit of distilling kit that whisky geeks won't get to see every day. "The distillery ambassadors don't simply talk you through the process of whisky making, they take plenty of time to tell stories and anecdotes along the way, which really brings the history of the place to life.

Rachael said: "The visitor experience at Tomatin is amazing. Not only do you get a real feel for what the distillery does for the small village it lies in, but you get a real behind the scenes look at how they make their whisky - including being able to go right into their cooperage which is a real treat. A really authentic experience."Glenfiddich is one of the most renowned single malt whisky brands globally, boasting facilities that live up to its illustrious name.

As one of three distilleries within easy reach of Glasgow, Glengoyne is merely a bus journey from the city centre and sits at the base of Dumgoyne on the West Highland Way. The Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery in Perthshire is a conveniently located just a short drive from all of Scotland's major cities, from Edinburgh to Inverness.
