Scotland day 7, Highland Folk Museum and whiskey tasting in Pitlochry

This morning we left charming Inverness and headed towards the city of Edinbugh. Along the way we stopped in the village of Carrbridge to view the oldest bridge in the highlands, dating back to the early 1700’s and an wood carving. Not sure of the meaning of the carving but its and interesting piece of art.

Continuing our scenic drive through the highlands with majestic scenery and wildlife. The next stop was the Highland Folk Museum home to the Baile Gean Township, complete with turf houses, which features extensively in The Outlander.

The museum depicted the difficult way of life for the highlanders and the idyllic setting.

Continuing our drive through the Highlands we arrived at Pitlochry, located in the heart of Scotland with beautiful scenery and rich clan history. Here, we visited a whisky distillery to learn about the age-old process of the making of the “water of life”.

Afterward our whisky tasting we enjoyed free time for lunch and shopping in this charming town then continued our scenic drive through the countryside.
