Contemporary Architecture
Pair your architecture excursion with a fine whisky tipple and make your way to the new state-of-the-art visitor centre at the Macallan Distillery. Cut into the hills of Speyside, the new distillery, with its rippling wildflower roof, is the work of international firm, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and sits on the Easter Elchies estate, which has been home to the single malt whisky since 1824.

V&A Dundee
Embrace all things design and spend the day at the V&A Dundee. A two-hour drive on the stunning east coast of the country, along the banks of the River Tay, the striking building was designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and took its inspiration from the dramatic rocky cliffs that line Scotland’s coast.
