    Back in 1999, I spent a long weekend of Scottish Country Dancing at a large Country House in the Glen of Rothes, and visited Dufftown twice. It is a nice little town - with an excellent kiltmaker on Fife Street: Ann Higgins ( http://www.kiltonline.co.uk ). I did manage a tour of the Glen Grant distillery at Rothes, but no photos were permitted, and all I remember clearly of that visit were the fantastic gardens that surrounded the distillery buildings. They had a very modern set-up there and I believe I was told that the entire distillery was run by only about six men - and a sophisticated computer! The bottling was done somewhere outside Edinburgh. That weekend, eight years ago, was my very first visit to Scotland! Aye, strange but true!
