OPTION 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full day tour visiting: Blair Atholl Castle and Edradour Distillery.

Blair Castle, the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl. The castle enjoys one of Scotland’s finest settings in the heart of Highland Perthshire.
With its roots in the 13th century, Blair Castle’s history extends over some 740 years, during which time it has welcomed countless generations of visitors. At the gateway to the Grampian Mountains on the route north to Inverness, the location was highly strategic. Today we can enjoy the wild beauty of the surrounding landscape but centuries ago it was a threatening and dangerous place.

Edradour Distillery
Edradour whisky is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.

Then travel to Cairngorm Mountain – Evening Event including dinner in the Ptarmigan Restaurant.

OPTION 3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
House of Bruar
En route to Loch Morlich the coach will stop at House of Bruar to give delegate the chance to visit the Falls of Bruar, browse round the retail outlet or have a tea/coffee break.

Sailing
Wind Surfing
Kayaking
Canoeing
Mountain Biking

The centre has single kayaks and the larger Canadian style open canoes which take two or three persons. Loch Morlich and the burn, which runs into the loch, are ideal places to enjoy this sport.

SAILING
The centre has a fleet of Laser Picos, Toppers and Optimists. The different boats in our fleet offer a range of performance to suit all ages and abilities.

2. Evening event in the Cairngorm Mountain

Evening Event will include dinner in the Ptarmigan Restaurant and a presentation by Dr Catherine Morduant entitled "CairnGorms: landscape and Ecology". Eight miles south east of Aviemore and high on the northern flank of Cairn Gorm lies the CairnGorm Mountain Railway.

This funicular railway runs for two kilometers through the Cairngorm ski area. In doing so it climbs 460m to the Ptarmigan top station, 150m below the summit of the mountain. The Cairngorm plateau, mostly above 4,000ft in height, is one of the most rare and fragile environments in Scotland.

However, Cairn Gorm's northern corries of Coire Cas and Coire na Ciste have been the location for extensive ski-related development since the opening of the White Lady chairlift here on 23 December 1961

Professor Charles McKean
Architecture, towns and building are some of man's most expensive activities, and have always been powerfully symbolic and towns, buildings and architecture reveal much about the priorities, culture, politics and living conditions of the past. Professor McKean current research varies from Scottish culture during the Renaissance to a re-examination of the 'British' agenda of Scotland in the later eighteenth /early nineteenth century. His teaching focuses on the interaction between towns, architecture and history, with Scotland as a focus but with comparisons taken from Europe and America. and to examine the evolution of Scottish architecture. Before joining the University of Dundee as Professor of Scottish Architectural History, Professor McKean was the Chief Executive to the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.
