Edradour Whisky Destillery

The Edradour Distillery is Scotland’s smallest distillery and its most picturesque, no matter the time of year. Nestling in the hills east of Pitlochry, Edradour stands alone as Scotland’s last distillery to produce a hand-crafted malt in limited quantity, unique quality and by methods which to other distilleries are just a fond memory. Free tours March to October. Open Mon to Sat 9.30am-5pm, Sundays 12n-5pm. Shop only Nov to Feb, Mon to Sat 10am-4pm. Closed 2 weeks between Christmas and New Year. Off A924 Pitlochry to Braemar road, just outside Pitlochry.

Edradour Walk

5km / 3 miles
Starting point - Atholl Road car park

The shortest of the walks follows the A924 Perth Road south-east out of Pitlochry, passing Blair Athol Distillery which was founded in 1798 and is one of the oldest in Scotland. A little further on the walk turns north at the main entrance to Black Spout Wood. Here, Kinnaird Burn and Edradour Burn present attractive water features tumbling down their tree-lined way. The burns are spanned by footbridges linking the paths which criss-cross through the woodland. The Black Spout is an impressive waterfall, some sixty metres high on the Edradour Burn, overlooked by a carefully positioned viewing platform. After leaving Black Spout Wood walkers follow the Edradour Burn to join the FIigh Road, once part of the old North Road, at Milton of Edradour. In the summer this small hamlet is the destination of thousands of visitors arriving in cars and coaches to enjoy their guided tours around Edradour Distillery. The distillery was established in 1825 and is the smallest and one of the most picturesque in Scotland. From the Milton the walk follows the High Road to Mains of Edradour Farm and then returns back to Pitlochry down the hill through Black Spout Wood. Here, in the spring, the white flowered wood anemone carpets the oak woodland floor and, if you are quiet, you may see shy roe deer or hear a greater spotted woodpecker hammering on a dead tree.
