On this tour we bring together one of Scotland's most famous castles, Dunnottar, Scotland's Crown Jewels (which were the reason for it being put under siege), the ancient church where the jewels were hidden and some fine whisky and lunch.

We visit Old Aberdeen (Fascinating medieval history ) then the iconic Dunnottar Castle which has a wealth of history and is perched on an impregnable rocky headland. We then travel south to Kinneff Old Church where the “Scotland’s Honours” (Scotland's Crown Jewels) were hidden in 1651 after being smuggled out of Dunnottar Castle.
