Explore the highlights of beautiful, vibrant Aberdeen on this fascinating two-hour private walking tour with an expert local guide. As a port city, Aberdeen has a fascinating maritime history, a scenic coastline, and an interesting history. Also known as the Granite City, for its imposing and historic architecture, Aberdeen was built at the convergence of the Don and Dee rivers where they meet the Atlantic. The name translates as 'mouth of the river Don' - aber is a Pictish word meaning river mouth, and the Don is named after the Gallo Roman goddess of springs and Rivers, Divona. Today it is famous as the off-shore capital of Europe, but prehistoric settlements and villages show the area has been inhabited for over 8000 years. There are also a fantastic 45 green parks for walking and relaxing - as well as the nearby international golf courses and of course many, many historic whiskey distilleries - Scotland's national tipple!

Your journey begins where Scotland’s history meets the wild edge of Aberdeenshire. As Dunnottar Castle rises above the cliffs and the North Sea crashes below, the fortress appears like something from legend. Weathered by storms yet still standing proud. Exploring its tower, old bakery, brewery and lion’s den, you can almost hear echoes of those who lived and fought here. From the rugged coast, the day softens into Royal Deeside, following the River Dee through native woodland to the foothills of the Cairngorms. Here, just a mile from Balmoral Castle, the Royal Lochnagar Distillery offers warmth, tradition and whisky crafted from the pure Scarnock springs. With the scent of oak in the air and mountains on the horizon, this tour becomes more than a visit; it’s the feeling of standing somewhere truly extraordinary.

Discover how Aberdeen Gin is authentically distilled in the heart of the city. Enjoy drinks throughout and taste samples of true small batch artisan gin – both London Dry and Fruit Gins.
