Tours with a difference
Join me on an amazing tour of Aberdeenshire and visit incredible Scottish places on one of my private tours. Discover Royal Deeside with its association with the Royal Family, Highland and coastal villages, historic castles, spectacular scenery, dramatic coastline, and wonderful wildlife. We'll make time to enjoy a typical Scottish lunch and go off the beaten track, and tailor your relaxed experience to help you absorb the tranquility and beauty of the North East of Scotland.
Castles, Coos and Coastline all in one day? Yes please!
Feel the history on an informative castle tour. Meet and greet our resident Highland Cows and delight in the spectacular coastline around Aberdeenshire. There's always time for a lunch stop too.
Whisky Galore - A day to immerse yourself in the 'water of life' - whisky. We will travel through beautiful scenery to Speyside, the home of some of the most famous whisky distilleries in the world for a tour and tasting. See how the whisky barrels are made at Speyside Cooperage and enjoy a traditional Scottish lunch at a well-stocked whisky bar.
Photography - Photograph Scottish scenery and wildlife on this off the beaten track photographic safari where I will share my favourite locations to photograph. Being in the good Scottish fresh usually brings on an appetite so lunch is always welcome and we will find time to sample good, local, freshly made food.
Balmoral Castle and Royal Deeside - This tour starts at dramatic Dunnottar Castle set on an ancient rock formation high above the North Sea. Learn of its troubled past and hear the secret of the Scottish crown jewels. Next we take a scenic drive to Royal Deeside and Balmoral Castle, the holiday home of the British Royal Family and one of the late Queen's favourite places. You will see why as we travel through the Cairngorms National Park. See Balmoral Castle and take a stroll around the lovely gardens and grounds. Enjoy a wee dram at nearby Royal Lochnagar Distillery. We'll also stop at the Highland village of Ballater with its old Royal Station.
Bespoke Tours - if you'd prefer something more directed to your particular preferences, no problem. I will customise a day tour designed around the things you have been dreaming about. Tracing your ancestors or visiting a castle with a family connection, I can make it happen.
