<h3>Glen Garioch Distillery</h3>Begin your adventure at Glen Garioch, one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, founded in 1797 in the heart of the Highlands. Here, tradition and craftsmanship meet to produce whiskies known for their rich, honeyed malt character with gentle hints of smoke. It’s located in the town of Oldmeldrum, in the northeast of Scotland, which places it within the Highland whisky region.Visit to the shop and/or a tour - please contact us to verify the availability.<h3>Fyvie Castle</h3>A short drive brings you to Fyvie Castle, a medieval fortress layered with history. Standing since the 13th century, this castle has witnessed generations of Scottish families, from the Meldrums to the Gordons. Explore the grand halls, painted ceilings, and tapestries, and step into the legends of seven ghosts said to haunt its corridors, including a Grey Lady and a headless piper.14 Mar–17 Jun, Wed–Sun, 10.30–16.0018 Jun–30 Aug, daily, 10.30–16.0031 Aug–1 Nov, Wed–Sun, 10.30–16.002 Nov–28 Feb 2027, closedOR<h3>Duff House, Banff</h3>Next, journey to Duff House, an elegant Georgian mansion overlooking the River Deveron. Designed by William Adam in the 18th century, this Palladian masterpiece now serves as an art gallery, blending architectural grandeur with cultural richness. Stroll through its grand rooms, admire Scottish and European art, and enjoy the serene riverside surroundings.1 Apr to 30 Sep: Thur to Sun, 10 am to last entry at 3.30 pm (closes 4.30 pm). 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Fri to Sun, 10 am to last entry at 2.30 pm (closes 3.30 pm). Closes for lunch 12.30 pm to 1.15 pm.<h3>Banff and the Coastal Villages</h3>Venture to the charming town of Banff, once a bustling market port, and continue along the dramatic coastline to Crovie and Pennan, two of Scotland’s most picturesque fishing villages. Marvel at the narrow lanes, brightly painted cottages, and sea views, and trace the paths immortalised in the film Local Hero. These villages are snapshots of coastal life, where the North Sea crashes against rugged cliffs and every corner tells a story.Crovie -It’s sometimes called “Scotland’s tiniest village”, with houses built almost in a single row along the shoreline. Originally a fishing village, Crovie’s economy centred on herring and other coastal fisheries. There are no cars on the main street; access is mostly by foot or narrow lanes.Pennan -Pennan was a fishing village, relying on herring and other coastal fisheries. The village is famous for its single row of brightly painted cottages clinging to the cliffside. The red telephone box in Pennan is famous—it was featured in the 1983 film “Local Hero”, which made the village internationally recognisable.<h3>Aikey Brae Stones</h3>Step back even further in time at the Aikey Brae Stones, a prehistoric recumbent stone circle. Dating back 3,000–4,000 years, these stones are a testament to the astronomical knowledge and ritual life of ancient communities. Quiet, atmospheric, and deeply mysterious, they offer a window into a Scotland long before castles and kings.<h3>Deer Abbey</h3>Finally, journey inland to Deer Abbey, a 13th-century Cistercian monastery nestled in peaceful Aberdeenshire farmland. Explore the ruins of the church and cloisters, and uncover connections to the Book of Deer, a medieval manuscript that reveals early Gaelic writing, land grants, and monastic life. Deer Abbey embodies the spiritual and agricultural influence of monastic communities across Scotland.*** All Castles and Estate Houses are subject to their opening dates.
