The Whisky Museum in Dufftown, Aberdeenshire, lets you discover the secrets of traditional whisky making and hear about the lives of whisky smugglers. Exhibits include illicit stills and old tools and equipment, donated by local distillers and HM Customs and Excise, giving a genuine look into whisky manufacture in times gone by. It suits anyone with an interest in whisky heritage and local history, and works well as a shortish stop rather than a full day out. The museum is open from 1 April to 30 October, 10am to 4pm. The nearest station is Keith, 9.8 miles away, and there are 10 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you'd like to make a longer visit of the area.
