Grey and regal. Powerful and unforgettable. You’re picturing a castle, aren’t you? What if we told you we’re talking about ‘The Granite City’, Aberdeen. When you take a tour from Aberdeen, you can first experience this silver city and how it was constructed out of stunning stone. And when you board a Scotland tour departing from Aberdeen, you gain access to some of the most incredible castles, mesmerising mountains and the famous Speyside whisky region.
With Speyside on your doorstep, you’d be a miss not to partake in a whisky tour and sample uisge beatha, the ‘water of life’ here in Scotland. Or maybe you’re drawing to imposing castles clinging precariously to a jagged cliff’s edge? Whatever your plan, we’ve got a great range of day trips waiting for you in Aberdeen.
There’s a wealth of beautiful locations to tour alongside Aberdeen that we want to protect for future generations to enjoy. Through our responsible travel initiative, we take ownership of our actions by donating, volunteering and travelling by small mini-coaches to help preserve the land for many generations to come.
