Discover the beautiful coastal sights of eastern Scotland on a day trip from Aberdeen. Visit the Bullers of Buchan, Bow Fiddle Rock, and Slains Castle.

PRICE: See Booking Site

 

You leave Aberdeen and head for Spey Bay. Here, you have time to learn about the area and try to spot dolphins.

You then journey to Bow Fiddle Rock, one of our favourite coastal sights in Scotland. Its unusual shape being battered by waves offers an epic photo and an awesome experience.

After lunch, you travel the short distance to Portsoy. This archetypal Scottish seaside town boasts the oldest harbour on the Moray Coast and shops selling unique jewellery made from ‘Portsoy Marble’.

From Portsoy, you journey to Bullers of Buchan. Here you try to count how many species of sea birds you can spot or simply admire the glorious sea scape of caves and cliffs.

Slains Castle is the next stop of your day. This grand coastal castle had its roof removed to avoid taxes. You have time here to get a photo and learn about how the octagonal room inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

In the early evening, you arrive back in Aberdeen.

This route may be reversed on some occasions.
