Isle of Raasay Distillery and the Isle of Raasay Day Trip

Описание: We’re heading off the beaten path to one of Scotland’s best kept island secrets - the Isle of Raasay and the ‪@IsleofRaasayDistillery‬. Just a short ferry ride from Sconser on the Isle of Skye, Raasay feels like stepping into a quieter, wilder version of the Highlands, where dramatic landscapes, deep history, and world-class whisky all collide.

Our journey starts at the Sconser ferry terminal, with a cozy stop at The Noost for coffee and views before sailing across the Sound of Raasay. Once on the island, we explore one of Scotland’s most exciting modern distilleries, the Isle of Raasay Distillery, where innovative cask aging, island water, and Hebridean climate come together to create a truly distinctive single malt. We take the full tour, learn the story behind the distillery, and of course enjoy a tasting with views toward the Cuillin mountains on Skye.

But our visit to Raasay wasn't just about whisky. We hike out to the ruins of Brochel Castle and search the coast for Jurassic era ammonite fossils. We also visit the historic Raasay House Hotel for a post distillery beer.

From ferry crossings and castle ruins to fossil hunting and drams by the sea, this is everything we loved about visiting the Isle of Raasay in one incredible day.
