Visit our castles on the coastline which lie mostly forgotten about. Sitting high up on precarious ledges over looking the sea. I started doing this tour because it has inspired authors and poets for many years, which bring a sense of awe to those who care to come and share the experience with me. We look down into sunken caves where the sea allowed smugglers to drop their ill gotten gains under the cloak of darkness. Venture into some caves (tide's allowing) and hear the pounding sea upon the "door". The picturesque village of Pennan, which hugs the sea below steep cliffs is a great way to finish off our coastal adventure.
Depending to the tide, this tour may vary in which site we visit first and last. - Head down to Dunnottar Castle, for a tour of the castle situated on a small peninsula with the sea on 3 sides. - Visit the small harbour at Stonehaven for coffee and cakes overlooking the bay. - Drive North to Cruden Bay and visit Slains Castle, inspiration for Bram Stoker's "Dracula" ( Option to walk in here about 1 mile if visitors prefer, car pick up at castle) - 5 minute drive to see the Bullers of Buchan sunken cave, where smuggling was common place on many a stormy night. - Leave for Saplingbrae Hotel for lunch break with a menu of local seafood a speciality. - Head off towards Fraserburgh and a drive along the coastline to New Aberdour bay and the caves made of Old Red Sandstone. - Drop down to Pennan village, where the film Local Hero was filmed - Return to Aberdeen Customization of this tour possible upon request.
