Let us start by saying the whisky is optional, drink alternatives are available and the cost of the whisky is not included in the £15.50. We do this to make the event as inclusive as possible for drinker, non drinker, whisky lovers and whisky sceptics alike. The whisky or drink alternatives can be added-on on the day. We meet just off the iconic Royal Mile inside a café/bar called Hot Toddy. We have the entire downstairs area reserved for us, ensuring lots of space for the group. During the course of two hours we will sample four outstanding Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the four major whisky producing regions of Scotland. We will discus some of the history of Scotland and explore the reasons as to why whisky is now so ingrained as a staple of Scottish culture and we have some great tales from Scotland and the world of whisky to share with you. Other things to note This tour departs promptly and we can not wait for guests who are late. Feel free to turn up at Hot Toddy earlier to enjoy some food or drink before the event starts. Guests joining at 5pm or 7:30pm can also add a traditional Haggis dinner to their experience for an additional £14per person. This can be enjoyed in the venue upstairs, after the experience. People under the age of 18 are not permitted on this tour and exceptions can not be made I'm afraid.

During your Whisky Tasting Experience you will be taken on a journey sampling five of the finest Malt Whiskies the Highlands of Scotland has to offer whilst learning about the rich, emotional and powerful history of Inverness and the Highlands, including the Jacobite Rebellion, The Battle of Culloden and the Highland Clearances. Your host will also entertain you with traditional songs and music synonymous with Highland history and Scotch Whisky. Scotch Malt Whisky, history, traditional music and craic, you only have to bring the missing ingredient....... Yourselves!! Be prepared to laugh, cry, clap your hands, tap your feet, maybe even sing along and the best part, enjoy the warm glowing feeling that the whisky naturally provides!!

Join me on a walk on Pendle hill which at its summit is 557 meters high above sea level on an isolated hill in the Pennines. We start our journey at Barley Lane laybay (free parking) where we begin our climb. This circular walk will take us up to the summit then through Ogden Clough Valley to both upper and lower Ogden reservoir. On our walk we will be discussing the history behind Pendle and the 3 main events which took place in the 17th century Richard Towneley's barometer experiment (1661). The vision of George Fox (1652) which led to the foundation of the Quaker movement and the most infamous Pendle witch trials (1612). The background to the events of these trials are of 2 rival families the Demdike and the Chattox families which we will learn more about. As we leave the valley behind us we drop down into witches wood along Ogden clough only for those who are brave enough. Here we will take in the history of the what happened to the pendle hill witches. We then travel onto the village of Barley where we can stop for refreshments and food and discuss the walk so far. We will then continue on our walk through Barley passing the Pendle Hill Cauldron snack bar before returning back to our stating point to finish our walk. This walk takes around 4.5 hours and is a steady walk allowing for pictures, questions and stops.
