Macallan Distillery
The Macallan Distillery and Visitors Centre is well worth the visit- recently built at a cost of £140million it will not disappoint. You immerse yourself in the brand from the second you enter the building- it really is quite the experience.

Johnstons of Elgin
Renowned for its Cashmere and Woollen Mill, Johnstons of Elgin stocks beautiful clothes for men, women and children. It has lovely fabrics, unique rugs and a desirable selection of interior items for the home. Celia is regularly found admiring the cashmere or meeting friends in the café which is arguably one of the nicest in the area.

Logie Steading
We love visiting Logie Steading. It offers everything from shopping and eating to walking and fishing. We love to go and browse the art and exercise the children, but always end up leaving with various purchases from the farm and garden shop. Logie Steading also run courses and activities all year round.
