Glencoe, stops and unconfirmed extras

The description mentions a possible meal at Clachaig Inn or Kings House Hotel and a whisky tasting, but does not establish the tasting’s order, location, cost or conditions.

Because the whisky tasting is not a formal inclusion, it should not be treated as guaranteed. Travelers pay for purchases and refreshments during stops.
