Explore Dunnottar Castle, the Falls of Feugh, Braemar, and Cairngorms scenery on a friendly 9-hour trip from Aberdeen.

“The trip was great, the guide Jim is very nice, smiling and you can see that he loves working with people. Jim speaks very clearly, with a nice English accent, thanks to which you can really understand a lot of the information that the guide provides. Comfortable, modern bus, pleasant Scottish music in the background. The weather in mid-October was wonderful, a real golden Scottish autumn. Breathtaking views, great atmosphere in a small group. I took part in the trip alone and felt really comfortable. I will definitely take part in similar offers :)”

“Malcom is the man! He's incredibly knowledgeable about Scottish history and takes time to share it as makes sense along the trip. We got so much done during this trip. It was a perfect introduction to Scotland and he even gave us tips where to find dinner and a wee drink after the tour as well. If you book one trip while in Scotland, book with Malcolm!”
