Speyside Malt Whisky Trail

Scotland's Malt Whisky Trail is the only trail of its kind in the world. Set in the heart of stunning Speyside, this trail takes in seven world-famous working distilleries, one historic distillery and the fascinating Speyside Cooperage.

Speyside is often called 'Malt Whisky Country' as its home to more than half of Scotland's malt whisky distilleries and is one of the country’s five whisky regions. Our service 36 will let you enjoy a dram and get home safely - and a single bus fare will only cost you £2!

Enjoy the views and a dram or two thanks to our convenient service throughout Speyside, with £2 single tickets saving you money for those special souvenirs or additions to your collection.

Our Whisky Trail route, service 36, connects Elgin with Dufftown via a range of distilleries and event venues.

Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival

Returning in 2027, Speyside Whisky Festival will see thousands of visitors descend on Speyside to celebrate Scotland’s world-famous whisky heritage. Service 36 provides a convenient, low-cost and scenic link, serving several of the region’s best-known distilleries along the route.

During the festival, additional journeys will operate on Service 36, making it even easier for visitors and locals to plan their day and travel between events.
