Overview

Discover the clifftop drama of Dunnottar Castle and the charm of Stonehaven on this private half-day tour with a driver who knows the area inside out. We collect you from your hotel, home or cruise ship and head straight to Dunnottar, the spectacular ruined fortress perched above the North Sea that has starred on screen and in Scotland's history for centuries. You will have time to walk down and explore the castle and its headland, with your driver on hand for the stories along the way. We then take in Stonehaven's picturesque harbour and coastline before returning you to your door. It is an easy, comfortable half day for families, couples and small groups who would rather travel privately than pile onto a full-size coach.
