Combine the majestic heights of Royal Deeside with the epic cliff-top site of Dunnottar Castle.

For almost 150 years, the British royal family have travelled to the River Dee for their holidays.

With almost unlimited cash and resources, why do they always come here?

We think there’s an easy answer.

This area encapsulates everything everyone loves about Scotland. You find grand castles enclosed by pine forests. You look up at the highest plateau in Britain in the Cairngorms National Park. And there’s enough nearby distilleries to satisfy any royal event.

So, who wouldn’t want to escape to the fresh air of this location?

On this tour, we combine her Majesty’s favourite holiday spot with a trip to Dunnottar Castle, one of the most historically important and visually arresting sights in Scotland.

Hop aboard this tour, see an epic castle, and discover whether you have the same taste as the royals.

    Excellent trip to Dunnottar Castle and was able to see other Castles in the nearby areas. Neal our tour host was very kind and informative with his wealth of knowledge of the areas we visited. For the Dunnottar experience was very interesting for me being that my Great Grandfather JW Keith descendants were of Keith Clan so a lot of history there for me.

  • Fantastic day! Highly recommend

    We had a fantastic day, our guide Alan was exceptional. With Dunnottar castle closed Alan had organised a private tour of another castle within ten minutes. We were very lucky to have been able to see some of the famous hairy coos of the area as well as a quick photo op at the gates of balmoral. The tour was great value and would recommend to everyone.
