I love it&#8217;s theme tune, a little reminiscent of the Pink Panther theme tune, but somehow a little dorky. I don&#8217;t know how else to explain it. The Grouse, who I believe is called Gilbert, is quite funny. My favourite was one where there are two mirroring each other, with the tag line &#8216;make that a double&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In the car park there is a quite a big statue of the Famous Grouse, posed proudly and was very impressive. Although, looking back at the photo I had with it, I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m looking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all it was a very fun day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aea6f70a58b0a37ac5f622e90cf452b9 wp-block-paragraph\">Patchy&#8217;s Update &#8211; I believe this place is no longer the Famous Grouse Experience and is now the Glenturret Tour. Also, I don&#8217;t think the Grouse Statue is there anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Re-posted from my wordpress blog.
