Exploring the Glenlivet's Hidden Gems! 😍💎

Did you know that beyond the rich whisky legacy of the area, there's the enchanting River Livet and the Old Bridge of Livet?

The bridge dates back to the 18th century and is still an absolutely wonderful sight. The stunning packhorse bridge is a true testament to time and craftmanship standing tall against the flow of history and floods.

Join us in exploring the Magical Past of Dufftown! 🧙‍♂️✨

Did you know Dufftown and Harry Potter have an interesting connection?

In the movie, during a scene where Hermione is reading The Daily Prophet, she mentions that Sirius Black was spotted in Dufftown. This reference was added in the film to provide more specific information about Black's location, whereas in the book, it was only mentioned that Black was spotted "not far from Dufftown". 🤩

So, whether you're a history enthusiast, a whisky connoisseur, or simply a Potterhead seeking to connect with the magic world, Dufftown may have an unforgettable experience for you.
