Private Coastal History, Dunnottar Castle and Distillery Tour

Iconic castle, ancient history and whisky tasting on a stunning coastline

Aberdeenshire has many treasures to offer, and we will take you on a private tour to areas that are stunning and interesting.

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 after lunch.

A suggested itinerary depending on hotel location:
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. After lunch at nice restaurant we then visit Arbikie Highland Distillery for a Tasting tour (choose either whisky or gin/vodka).
