Sunday we got up late and did mundane stuff like laundry in the complex laundromat. There are probably a hundred condo units here of varying sizes; from small efficiency apartments in hotel like settings to ones like ours at about 1000 square feet and are free standing cottages. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 baths in ours plus a large great room with kitchen and living area. We’re at the top of the hill and the picture windows of our unit face out over the River Tay to the hills on the other side of the valley and the view is stunning.

After the chores on Sunday we were just driving around the little town of Aberfeldy and discovered … honest to god, just by chance … that it’s the home of the Dewar’s scotch distillery! What luck, eh. Well we had to pop over and do the tour of the facility, which is rated as one of the best distillery visitor centers in Scotland. In addition to the tour of the brewing process we got to sample some of their single malt stuff (Aberfeldy Dewar’s 12 year) as well as the White Label blend that is sold in the States. Even at the distillery the price was about $30 for a fifth for the White Label; well above what it costs in the states.
