From Edinburgh: 2-Day Aberdeenshire & Speyside Tour｜United Kingdom

Experience the wild beauty of Scotland’s northeast on a two-day journey combining dramatic coastal scenery, remarkable wildlife, historic landmarks, traditional fishing communities, and world-renowned whisky heritage.

The first day follows the coastline of Angus and Aberdeenshire. The journey begins in Montrose before continuing to the traditional fishing village of Gourdon. The route then reaches Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve, one of the United Kingdom’s most important seabird colonies, where dramatic cliffs provide nesting sites for thousands of seabirds, including puffins during the breeding season.

A highlight of the day is Dunnottar Castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic castle ruins. Perched on a rocky headland above the North Sea, the fortress occupies one of the most spectacular settings in the country. After visiting the harbour town of Stonehaven, the day concludes in Aberdeen, Scotland’s historic Granite City.

The second day begins at Forvie National Nature Reserve, a landscape of sand dunes, coastal heathland, and estuarine habitats renowned for its large colonies of grey seals. The journey then continues to Pennan and Crovie, two remarkably preserved fishing villages overlooking the Moray Firth.

The tour concludes with a visit to a whisky distillery in the Moray and Speyside region, the heartland of Scotch whisky production. Depending on availability, the distillery visited may vary and may include producers such as Glenfiddich, Glen Grant, Cardhu, Glen Moray, or similar establishments.

Please note that Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve offers its most impressive seabird experience from April to July.
