We have been busy making plans for the 2027 tour season and there is a very good reason for a refresh. Next year we will be celebrating out 10 year anniversary!

We will be offering some special tours to showcase our beautiful region and hopefully creating a few special trips to local Highland Games including the fabulous Braemar Gathering in September 2027.

More news about these to follow in the next few weeks.

Discover 10 Stories of Aberdeen, our special anniversary shore excursion tour with pick up at Aberdeen South Harbour or as a private booking.

With threatening skies we stopped in Gourdon just in time for the sun to come out and for lunch at Harbour Bar Gourdon It’s lovely to be able to enjoy a fish supper next to the water. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and nothing but clean plates. (Nearly, because they do give you a good portion)

A city walking tour is a great way to learn a bit about the Granite City's history. And who would say no to some local food and drink sampling?

Something a little different today- after a city walking tour we gathered at for an impromptu wh**ky and gin tasting session. What an absolute pleasure after four days of private tours to finish off with a sociable afternoon.

A glorious day along the coastline yesterday with a stop at Collieston. Love watching the waves crashing on the rocks and sea wall. Swimmers were clinging to a smaller strip of sand when the tide was high, but nonetheless a lovely spot for a dip.

It was a lovely afternoon in the Howe of Cromar today. One of the things I love is the changing light on a sunny day.

Nature is looking a little confused? Its still technically summer but we are noticing a few autumn colours already? We might like the warmer and drier days, but mother Nature not so much. 🤷‍♀️

A visit to the Burn O'Vat is a great place to cool down. We always remind guests to take care over the rocks because they can be tricky. But those who are able, are rewarded with a beautiful Aberdeenshire gem.

Took a walk around parts of Aberdeen South Harbour, Greyhope Bay and Torry. The maritime & industrial history is all part of the heritage of the area. It might be challenging to see the beauty in these locations, but there are interesting stories to be discovered.

It's mid tour season and we are starting to look ahead to next year. We would like to know what do you want to see? If you have been, what was the best part of Aberdeenshire. Help us plan a new tour for 2027!
