The Water of Life – An introduction to Whisky
The ‘Water of Life’ was the name given to whisky by monks in the middle ages but this introduction to Scotland’s famous export is bang up-to-date. Enjoy a selection of whiskies from both Robert the Bruce’s homeland as well as a few curveballs from far-flung distilleries around the world. Learn how to decipher a label to give you a better understanding of what’s inside the bottle, the basics of how whisky is made, Scotland’s main regions, its fascinating history and of course why your wee dram tastes the way it does! Prices from £35 including a small beer on arrival and 6 samples of the golden nectar plus some snacks. 8-28 people. Duration 2 hours.
Private Dining
As well as our 50-seater Medieval Banquet Hall (min 12 guests) which offers medieval banquets for corporate and private functions, we also have our ornate Cookery School dining table which seats 14 and tasting room which accommodates up to 18 guests. They are perfect for more intimate private dining. Our private dining menus start from £35.00pp. Minimum spends may apply.

Prices from £32.50pp inc a glass of fizz on arrival, 6 sample wines plus snacks. 8-28 people. Duration 2 hours.
