If you want to get a personalized tour of the best places to go hiking, visit distilleries and visit a few Outlander (or Braveheart/Game of Thrones) locations, then Calum Macnee of Stills & Hills is your man!

For this podcast we travel to Inverness, Scotland to talk to a man in a kilt. (Who doesn’t love a kilt?!!) Calum Macnee owns and operates a walking and whiskey tour company in Scotland called, “Stills & Hills.” He takes enthusiasts out for scenic and beautiful hikes all across Scotland. He also knows a prodigious amount about Scotch whiskey. So with Calum as your guide, you’re sure to have a satisfying trip no matter which distilleries you visit.

I met up with him in Inverness and we talked inside a small tour bus while the others in our group took a sight-seeing side tour. We talked about his favorite and most scenic hikes, why sometimes a small distillery is a more satisfying visit than a large one, what countries prefer which type of Scotch whiskey, knitting, and textile mills, and just a lot of great stuff!
