Let google maps be your friend http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl 40 miles should take an hour or so.

Have a look at the Whiskey Trail site, it gives you an idea of distilleries to visit and route plans.

I highly recommend Rothiemurcus Estate when you are in Aviemore as well as the Cairngorm railway (on a clear day)

I've just come down from there and it was FREEZING, literally. Minus 12- minus 14, getting to a high of minus 6 during the day. I even sat ON Loch Morlich (Aviemore) which is the first time in my lifetime I have done so. It was completely frozen over.

It's a little warmer now, i.e freezing -1, but be prepared for the cold.

Beautiful part of the country.

I aalso recommed going to Carr Bridge if you have a car and check out the old packhorse bridge there, it's the cutest one in the country, that goes over the river there. There is also a nice coffee shop there that wont have you paying Aviemore prices which can be :eek:

Apologies....no offence was intended. You will understand that I had no way of knowing whether this was a typo or not when I made my original post. The only reason for bringing this to your attention was to make it easier for you to find the destination "Glenfiddich Distillery" in google maps.

Were you there for new year? how was the sand storm?

I missed that ! I was actually further North in Beauly and stopped off at Aviemore on way back home to Auld Reekie
