On Day 1 we leave Aberdeen and head to the iconic Dunnottar and Crathes Castles before having a fascinating “up close” tour around a Highland Cow Farm. Here you will learn about Scotland’s native breed and then enjoy a beautiful “beef” lunch. After we can either visit Balmoral Castle or the famous Royal Lochnagar Distillery before heading to Inverness. Attractions are subject to seasonal opening, contact us for details.

One of Scotland's and the world's most spectacular ruined castles, Dunnottar is an ancient medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland near Stonehaven. The surviving buildings date from the 13th to the 16th centuries, but was originally fortified in the Early Middle Ages. You can enjoy this castle for free, but internal tours are chargeable.

An amazing opportunity to visit a Highland cattle working farm and meet Scotland's native breed on a private tour. You will be able to meet them up close, take photos/videos, learn about their history and sample succulent Premium Aberdeenshire Highland Beef during lunch! Lunch is included in cost.

We can either visit his iconic castle which has been the Scottish home of the Royal Family since it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852 or have a tasting tour around the famous Royal Lochnagar Distillery. Balmoral Castle is a must on many visitors to see list and as of Sept 2023 the opening dates have been extended. Please contact us for details.

Instead of Balmoral Castle you may wish to visit the world famous Royal Lochnagar distillery, which was established in 1845. It is a single malt Scotch whisky producer based near Balmoral Castle. You will be able to learn how it is made and sample some drams. Always requires advance booking and the tasting tours are not included in the cost.

We drive through the majestic Cairngorm National Park from Royal Deeside to Inverness.
