Scotland has many treasures to offer - amazing castles and historical buildings, beautiful scenery, spectacular wildlife, wonderful restaurants and a lot of them are in Aberdeenshire. I will take you on a private tour to areas that are as stunning as they are interesting and tell you about the attractions and their history and secrets and arrange a great day out for you whether it be to ancient castles, a distillery or to see famous Highland Cows. I also offer tours across Scotland and will assist you in the creation of a wonderful vacation to see our amazing country from coast to coast. I can create a custom tour to suit your own itinerary. I am a fully bonded member of ABTOT (No. 5419) which provides protection for customers' prepayments. I have many years of experience in Tour Guiding, and I look forward to showing you our lovely land, whether that be for a few hours or over multiple day. Malcolm Duckworth.

Overview of your Aberdeen tour

An amazing private tour that provides a true taste of Scotland. Historic Castles, Highland Cows & Whisky. Feel the history, taste the beef & drink a dram. Dunnottar Castle, one of the world's most iconic, impregnably built on a sheer headland. Crathes, a stunning 16thC Castle with amazing gardens. We offer you the chance to learn about and meet our native breed of cattle and have a Beef lunch at a working Highland Cow Farm. Enjoy a tasting tour at The Royal Lochnagar or The Glen Garioch Distillery, both produce a world class single malt Scotch. Balmoral Castle is an option instead of the distillery (subject to seasonal opening times). All tours can be tailored to suit and the farm and distillery are subject to seasonal opening times and require advance booking. Please contact us for details. Castles are free to visit, but charge for interior tours. Dunnottar can be seen in its full glory from near the car park. To go inside involves a long staircase. 18+ to taste whisky.
