Tour North East Scotland

Aberdeen, 'the Granite City', is the main city in the Grampians, the land of whisky, hunting, fishing... and seventy castles. Travel up the Dee Valley to Balmoral Castle, the home of the British Royal Family, and Braemar, famous for its Highland Games. The Don Valley has an important archeological heritage and some prestigious castles, including Drum, Craigievar and Fraser. Follow the 'Whisky Trail' along the Spey Valley and the northeast coast to Forres, stopping en route to visit major fishing ports (Peterhead, Fraserburgh), nature reserves, little fishing villages and Elgin Cathedral.
