Their first stop was Glenfarclas Distillery.

The intrepid group then headed for the Mill at Knockando. 
 Lunch came first then a guided tour of the mill.


Lorna, Len and Derek enjoy their plate of home made tomato soup.

Doris is shown how the woven material is teaselled.

Next it was off to the Cooperage at Craigellachie.


The group were amazed at the pace of work at the Cooperage.

The day ended at Delnashaugh.  Jack and Moya joined the group and all had an amazing high tea.
