"Welcome to Scotland" As a Scot, I am proud to greet my visitors with these words, and to introduce them to the unusual as well as the best my country has to offer. I have lived and worked in Aberdeenshire, Scotland my whole life, and I would be delighted to share some of our highlights and less well known special places with you. My background is in agriculture, and this allows me to give you an insight into farming, as well as the culture and history of our land. Aberdeen is my city, and I am passionate about Aberdeen Football Club through thick and thin ! My other interests include railways, local history and culture, as well as doing entertaining storytelling evenings. Food and drink is the corner stone of Aberdeenshire, with whisky tours being a particular passion of mine. I relish taking visitors out for a day to sample all the delicious food our area has to offer rounded off with a dram at the end. Aberdeen Angus beef, as well as lamb, pork and seafood are some of the key foods produced in the area. The county also has fruit farms, yogurt manufacturers and a wide range of craft breweries. These can all be enjoyed in some of the local restaurants. Outlander based tours is something I enjoy arranging for our visitors who are fans of the popular series. It is always good to have a surprise along the way whilst on holiday with castles and cairns round every corner. So come on, join me on an Aberdeenshire adventure.

Overview of your Aberdeen tour

Drive in luxury to see Aberdeen University, Kings College Chapel and St Machar's Cathedral in the Old Town. Relax as we drive along the beach (1 mile long) to visit the old fishing village of Footdee, or Fittie as it is known locally, at the harbour mouth. Stop for a coffee and waffles or if you prefer a rowie (local morning roll) at Mackie's 19. 2 Ice cream parlour in Marischal Square. Enjoy hearing the stories of the city as we walk to Aberdeen's oldest building, Provest Skene's House, the tales behind the statues and the principle buildings. All this before a walk trough St Nicholas graveyard to The Prince of Wales Pub for a traditional Scottish pub lunch.
