Travel Trade Planner 2019 by Caledonian MacBrayne

Travel Trade Product Planner Inspiration for your 2019 customers

calmac.co.uk

Welcome / Failte To the Caledonian MacBrayne Travel Trade Product Planner for 2019 where I hope you will find some inspiration for your tours to the West Coast of Scotland - using out network of services. For 2019 I have changed the product planner by re-introducing 6 coach friendly Hopscotch routes which provide a wide range of choice - whilst at the same time I have retained 6 coach tour itineraries that include the ever popular Mount Stuart and Brodick Castle (which will be open for the whole of the 2019 season after extensive refurbishment) 2019 coach fares and entrance fees for the featured Hopscotches and Tours have been agreed with the Scottish Government and third party attraction providers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whilst passenger fares have been estimated in order to provide you with an idea of likely costs (actual passenger fares wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known about until the end of 2018) I hope you will be inspired by the content in this brochure. We look forward to receiving your enquiries and bookings for 2019 in due course.

MOUNT STUART

Tour 1

Tour to the Isle of Bute

Truly a house of firsts, Mount Stuart is believed to be the first home in the world to have a heated indoor swimming pool and the first in Scotland to be purpose built with electric light, central heating, a telephone system and a Victorian passenger lift. Most of which are, quite remarkably, still in use today. Mount Stuart is one of Scotland’s most spectacular Victorian Gothic mansions and one of the world’s great houses. Stunning architecture and fantastic interiors reflect the 3rd Marquess of Bute’s interests, passions and vivid imagination. This circular tour from the Central Belt encompasses some of the most outstanding scenery that Scotland has to offer along the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond and through the Arrochar Alps to the shores of Loch Fyne. The Isle of Bute is accessed by the short ferry crossing from Colintraive to Rhubodach.

Tour Route

Return to Central Belt is from the picturesque seaside town of Rothesay via the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Wemyss Bay. Onboard, all tour customers will receive a complimentary cup of tea/coffee and slice of cake.

The 2019 promotional rate for each passenger, including all ferry fares, entrance to Mount Stuart House and Gardens and afternoon tea on the ferry back to Wemyss Bay is £16.75 per head.

The Distillery Visitor Centre was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen in 1997 and is situated right next to the distillery.

3 OBAN DISTILLERY

Islay is justifiably famous for its distinctive smoky and peaty single malt whisky and as of 2018 will have nine working distilleries – Bruichladdich, Bowmore, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Caol Ila, Kilchoman, Bunnahabhain, Ardbeg and Ardnahoe. Jura produces its own signature malt too at the tiny Jura Distillery and all nine are well worth a visit.

Oban Distillery is both one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and one of the smallest with just two pot stills. Pre-dating the town of Oban, it was originally established in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson. It underwent a refurbishment in the 1890s. Oban Distillery is both one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and one of the smallest with just two pot stills.

Tour 3

Tour to the Isles of Mull, Staffa and Iona

This is one of the best day tours in Scotland, providing a scenic route through the beautiful island of Mull and a visit to the island of Iona. The highlight of this tour is the awe inspiring visit to the unique island of Staffa to see the hexagonally jointed columns of basalt as well as Fingals Cave - it was made famous the world over by Felix Mendelsohn in 1830 when he composed the Hebrides Overture. From Oban, the tour crosses the Firth of Lorne to Craignure on Mull. The scenic route through the island is via Glen More to Fionnphort where a small ferry - operated by Gordon Grant Marine departs for Staff. After cruising to Staffa and allowing an hour ashore (subject to landing conditions) the vessel sails south to Iona which is known for its tranquillity, its Abbey and the burial place of Scottish Kings. The return to Fionnphort is onboard the Caledonian MacBrayne vessel, MV Loch Buie which only takes 10 minutes to cross the Sound of Iona. Return to Oban in the afternoon via Fionnphort, Glen More and Craignure.

KINLOCH CASTLE

Tour 5

Tour to the Isle of Rum

Kinloch Castle is a late Victorian mansion located on the Isle of Rum one of the Small Isles off the west coast of Scotland. It was built as a private residence for Sir George Bullough, a textile tycoon from Lancashire whose father bought Rum as his summer residence and shooting estate. Construction began in 1897, and was completed in 1900. Built as a luxurious retreat the Castle contains a multitude of fascinating artifacts and unique features. The castle and island are now owned by Scottish National Heritage - the castle being featured in the BBC programme ‘Restoration’ in 2003. The ferry journey to Rum is one of the most scenic on the west coast of Scotland with views of all the Small Isles, the Cuillin Hills on Skye and on many occasions a chance to view some of the local sea life. Dolphins, porpoises and the odd Minke whale abound, whilst gannets, kittiwakes and guillemots are often to be seen.

BRUICHLADDICH DISTILLERY

Tour 6

Tour to the Isle of Islay

‘The Queen of the Hebrides’, Islay is known for its mild climate and rich peaty soil making it ideal for recreating whisky. It’s home to no fewer than eight distilleries. Bruichladdich is a distillery on the Rhinns of the Isle of Islay. The distillery produces mainly single malt Scotch whisky but also offers artisanal gin. The distillery was founded in 1881 and after a somewhat turbulent past the whole distillery was dismantled and reassembled between January and May 2001 with the original Victorian décor and equipment being retained. No computers are used in production with all processes controlled by a pool of skilled artisans who pass on information orally and largely measure progress using dipsticks and simple flotation devices.

Tour Route Tour Route

All the distillery’s whiskies are sold as single malts, with those designated Bruichladdich being unpeated, those designated Port Charlotte being heavily peated and those designated Octomore being super-heavily peated. Octomore is considered to be ‘the most heavily peated single malt whisky in the world’.

The distillery’s commitment to Islay has resulted in the creation of an islandbased management and administrative system, including the construction of the island’s only commercially scaled bottling hall. The company is the largest private employer on Islay with around sixty jobs on the island.
