A Taste of Tradition


Once known as the Granary of Aberdeen for its high-quality barley, Oldmeldrum has deep roots in Scotland’s whisky story. The village is home to Glen Garioch Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, founded in 1797 and the closest to Aberdeen city. Take a guided tour, bottle your own whisky or enjoy an expert-led tasting to experience the true spirit of Aberdeenshire.

Luxury & Leisure


Just a short drive away, the elegant Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Course offers luxury dining and accommodation within its own peaceful estate. Enjoy a round on the hotel’s 18-hole course or unwind in the atmospheric Cave Bar, where over 120 whiskies await discovery.

For something more energetic, head to Lochter Activity Centre, offering everything from archery and clay shooting to 4x4 off-road driving and water zorbing. The on-site Lochter Fishery spans three lochs, providing around 20 acres of scenic fishing opportunities.
