      Enjoy one of our grand tours through mountain scenery and royal countryside, an area very special to the Scottish people and in particular to our Royal Family since before the time of Queen Victoria. Our Journey takes us over the mountains through the Highland Ski area of Glenshee and some beautiful scenery. We visit Balmoral Castle and grounds (home of the Royal Family when in Scotland) or another amazing castle on route. We can also visit the Royal Lochnagar Distillery and Crathie Kirk attended by the Royal family when in residence at Balmoral. We also visit the Highland towns of Aboyne, Banchory, Ballater and Braemar (The latter being the place of the Royal Highland Gathering every September).  Opportunity to have a picnic lunch in the grounds of one of the castles or perhaps a nice pub lunch on route. Whatever you decide, we are sure you will have an amazing day!
