Itinerary Highlights

The journey, day by day.

A representative sketch. Every hour is re-composed for the party we serve — but the register does not change.

  1. Day One

    London to the glen

    Helicopter from the London Heliport at Battersea to a landing site near the lodge, weather permitting. Dinner in the drawing room; a first dram to close.

  2. Day Two

    The hill

    A stalking day with the head keeper in season, or a walk into the corrie with the lodge's ghillie. Lunch on the hill; supper of the day's game if you wish.

  3. Day Three

    Private fishing

    A day on a private beat booked for your party on the Spey or the Tay, subject to the season and water levels. Rods, ghillie, lunch in the fishing hut.

  4. Day Four

    A distillery visit, privately arranged

    A private tour of a working Speyside distillery from its published private-visit programme, with a hosted tasting and a flight of aged expressions chosen for your party.

  5. Day Five

    Return south

    Helicopter or road transfer to Edinburgh or Inverness, with a night in Edinburgh's New Town before onward travel.
