Scottish Whisky Tour
Beer with cheese. Wine with chocolate. I’ve tried many interesting food and drink pairings on my travels. But whisky with a bacon butty? I'm in Scotland, of course, the undisputed home of whisky. Uisge beatha, the 'water of life', has been made here since at least the 15th century.
Queen Of The Scottish Lochs
Ask most people to name a Scottish loch and you’ll likely get one of two answers. Half will think of Loch Ness, home of the legendary monster. The rest will cite Loch Lomond, whose bonnie, bonnie banks are celebrated in the famous folk song. Loch is the Scottish Gaelic word for 'lake', and it’s estimated that Scotland has at least 31,460 of them. Loch Lomond is the biggest, covering over 27 square miles, making it the largest inland body of water in Great Britain.
Sipping Speyside: On The Whisky Trail In Scotland
Whisky is much more than Scotland's national drink – it’s blended deep into the country’s history and culture. Donna Dailey learns more and discovers the best ways to enjoy a wee dram. Experiencing the history of Scottish whisky As the Argocat lurches off into the foothills of the Cairngorms, I wrap my scarf tighter against the autumn chill.
The Texas Art Triangle
As we approach the fourth Thursday of November - 22 November - we wish all our American friends a very happy Thanksgiving. To celebrate the occasion, it seemed fitting to look back on some memorable holidays in the US and to highlight one particular trip to Texas, where we discovered several impressive art collections. When you think of Texas, do you picture cowboys and cattle drives? Or perhaps the idyllic Gulf Coast beaches and the islands between Galveston and Brownsville spring to mind?
US Beach Treat: Gulf Shores, Alabama
Pure bliss awaits in Alabama, with everything from beautiful beaches to charming towns and delightful eateries. Here are some of the best places to find your own sense of solitude for the most relaxing holiday yet, in America's Deep South. I’m ambling along the shore, soft powder-white sand oozing through my toes. The gentle sea breeze cools the rays of the early evening sun, and a brilliant gold and purple sunset is building over the horizon as I look south across the Gulf of Mexico.
Malaga As A City
Málaga is steeped in history, beautiful architecture and delicious food. Donna Dailey shares all about her recent trip there, when she decided to step away from the beach and head into the city to explore all it has to offer. I wouldn’t normally be drinking wine before noon. But I’m at the Antigua Casa de Guardia, Málaga’s oldest bar, and it would be a shame not to taste the sweet, fortified Málaga wine that has been produced in the region for centuries.
Holiday Road Trip Along the Low Road Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland
Dumfries and Galloway is one of Scotland's most beautiful - and diverse - destinations. There is an abundance of wildlife, hiking trails and woodland to explore, as well as pretty villages and vast lochs to admire. Here's what I love most about the Highlands of the Lowlands. The dew is still glistening on the grass as I set out for an early morning drive through Galloway Forest Park.
Crete
When it comes to Greek islands, Crete was my first love. With its picturesque coastline of laid-back beaches and rocky coves, its stunning mountains and fascinating archaeological sites, I quickly fell for the charms of Greece’s largest and southernmost island. Though I’ve flirted with other Aegean hot spots, I’ve come back to Crete again and again. Nearly 20 years on, each trip still brings new discoveries. On a recent visit, my husband Mike and I stayed near Rethymno, on the north coast.
Sipping Speyside: on the whisky trail in Scotland - Rough Guides
Whisky is much more than Scotland’s national drink – it’s blended deep into the country’s history and culture. Donna Dailey learns more and discovers the best ways to enjoy a wee dram. As the Argocat lurches off into the foothills of the Cairngorms, I wrap my scarf tighter against the autumn chill. This rugged eight-wheeler, a cross between an ATV and a jeep, is hauling us through the hidden glens of Speyside on the Glenlivet Hill Trek, following the trail of olden-day whisky smugglers.
Speyside Whisky Festival
Apart from the occasional wee dram on my visits to Scotland, I’ve never been much of a whisky drinker. So I wonder what I’m in for as I drive to Dufftown on a grey, misty morning to preview events for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. A Whisky Tasting at the Aberlour Distillery All Photos (c) Donna Dailey The annual festival celebrates Scotland’s national drink. More than half the country’s whisky distilleries are in Speyside, making the region home to an industry worth £2.5 billion a year.
Tour Scotland’s historic distilleries
Who gets the title “Scotland’s oldest distillery” is open to argument, as historical records are not always clear — and it also depends on your criteria. But here are six of the oldest that can still be visited, in alphabetical order. Balblair in Ross-shire was founded in 1790, but the present buildings date to 1895, when it was rebuilt. As well as touring the distillery, you can choose one of their whiskeys to fill your own bottle and add your own label.
