The Norteast coast is beautiful and expansive. From Spey Bay to Slain Castle it's one beautiful sight after another. I loved the high cliffside walk at the Bullies of Buchan under the capable guidance of our experienced guide. I've never done anything like that! Cullen is worth the visit and Portsoy's dramatic coast is unforgettable. Lovely day with nice people and a wonderful guide. Thank you Rabbie's.

This trip was the perfect bite-sized exploration of a lovely part of Scotland, filled with visits to places off the beaten path and narrated by knowledgeable and friendly guides. We saw wind-swept rock beaches at Spey Bay, old granite buildings in picturesque towns like Cullen, deep chasms with nesting seabirds, and the spooky ruins of New Slain’s Castle. All along the way, our guides told us of the history and interesting stories about the places we were passing as well as the places we stopped. A fabulous day! Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for windy, chilly weather.

The small group made this a perfect trip. Neil our driver was knowledgeable, informative and witty. I was educated whilst having fun. My favourite parts were Cullen and the Slain Castle, although I enjoyed it all. Great value for money.

It was wonderfull. There were long walks to site. I think that should be mentioned in the tour information. I have trouble walking distances. Our tour guide was great.

Wonderful day spent with Jim, the entertaining and informative leader of our tour to the Northeast coast of Scotland. All along the way Jim added insight to the passing parade of countryside, villages, rugged coastline, and extraordinary offshore formations. I had Cullen Skink for the first time and highly recommend it. Thanks to Jim and Rabbies for a first class tour experience.

A wonderful day trip with Neal as our guide and driver. First stop to see the Maiden Stone. The second was to hear, for the first time in my life, the sea waves rattling the stones in Spey Bay. Third stop was to take photos of Fiddle Bow Rock. The fourth was discovering that the name of Cullen skink soup, which I love, comes from the village of Cullen. The fifth stop in Portsoy was a spoiler for Peaky Blinders fans. The sixth stop was to reflect on Macpherson's death. The seventh was a nice walk to the ruins of a beautiful castle. Thank you Neal, thank you Rabbies - this tour left beautiful memories.
