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.

A lot of time in the bus to see falls without interest and highlander cows for the third time ! Just the Dunnotar castle was impressive.

Great tour of Dunnottar. Well worth it. Disappointed with the rest of the stops and time allocated to them. Would suggest that the tour be recast as castle tour and take in Balmoral and Breamar. Neal was an excellent tour guide.

Perfect day trip - Allen was so personable and the tour stops were top notch. It delivered what was written and more. I will use Rabbie’s again for sure.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour a lot. It's quite extensive, and you get a good look into the history and current life of Scotland and its people. The guide, Darryl, was wonderful and very knowledgeable.
