This is an edited version of the previous video without losing any of the original content. The previous video was a bit shaky due to being filmed without a camera gimbal. I added the video stabilization software and cleaned up the video somewhat as well as adding some content.

We drove 2800 miles on winding narrow roads through the most spectacular Scottish scenery and history. The moods of Scotland were all around me. There are so many distilleries, castles and culture to experience in three weeks. So here's a toast to you all as I get another breath of that Scottish highland air because I am really missing it. All I can think of at the moment is when will I get back to Scotland?
After 3 days in Edinburgh we saw 6 distilleries in the central highlands and then to the Speyside where there were a 11 more distilleries. We made it to Inverness which was our home for 3 days. We then travelled from the east side of Scotland to the west along Loch Ness to the the Isle of Skye. I can now understand why people say it is the most beautiful of the Isles. We had booked a large cottage and then toured the famous Taliskar distillery. It wasn't nearly long enough on the Island but we had to leave. We were off to Fort William and Ben Nevis the mountain and the distillery. We finally reached Oban our resting spot with more history to see, more tasty haggis to eat and a distillery to tour. We travelled through some unforgettable mountainous terrain and coastal landscape which brings out a lot of emotion when I now think of it. Then to the whisky pilgrimage, the beautiful Kintyre Peninsula and Campbeltown once home to 32 legal distilleries and a hundred illegal ones. This is the home of Springbank, Glengyle and Glen Scotia as well as two new distilleries that will be operating in the near future. In recent years Springbank has become an enigma because the whisky is so hard to find. Many of the distillery tour experts say that this is one of the most important if not the first distillery to visit in Scotland. It is not a colossal state of the art distillery distillery like Macallan, in fact in comparison it is very old and small in size with just 3 stills. But if you want to see how whisky was made over a hundred years ago with full transparency on how they make it complete from the malting floor to the dunnage warehouse, you go to Springbank. And you would think that the most sought after whisky in Scotland would cost a fortune but the distillery does not have exorbitant prices. It is the flippers and secondary market that jacks up the price. The issue is that Springbank does not produce enough whisky for the demand, a problem that a lot of distilleries wish they had. It looks like they do not want to change who they are or the way they have always operated the distillery because they prefer 'Old School'. I have to thank those good folks at Springbank for allowing me to video the distillery tour which was in my mind one of the best in Scotland. I am deeply indebted to them for all those awesome memories they have left with me. Enjoy the video. Slàinte Mhath
