You have been a blessing. I am very grateful that I was able to make contact with you. You have offered us not only wonderful options, but also plenty of details. I also love the fact that you offered suggestions, but then also offered your best recommendations. We are pumped. Thank you again so very much!!!" šŸ“ŒMy husband & I reached out to Kate in early April with the intent to book a trip to Scotland which included my husbandā€™s desire to see the Outer Hebrides - specifically Isle of Barra. But after a few back & forth communications with Kate, I felt much more confident in our ability to make a beautiful trip out of our sparse outline of an idea. Kate drew us up an impressive itinerary, complete with links & an interactive map. We are currently on day 3 of our journey and I am very grateful for Kateā€™s itinerary and our decision to rely upon her services.

DIY your trip to Aberdeen with guides
and itineraries by local experts

Scotland - the land of iconic views, food, and a FANTASTIC campervanning destination. We campervanned here for two weeks with this itinerary and had such an amazing experience. This guide covers 14 days and a whole lot of campervanning - get ready for a roadtrip! It covers the following destinations: - Glencoe - Isle of Skye - NC500 - The Cairngorms - Aberdeen - Edinburgh - Glasgow & MANY destinations and things to do in between these major stops. For some places it includes restaurants (but not all, as it's a campervanning itinerary so you'll likely be cooking most of your meals), lots of adventure (hikes, views, and activities), where to stay (parking your campervan is SO easy in Scotland we've included where to look for camping spots and also included campervan sites to hook up to for each spot), and inside intel on what you should know before you visit. This itinerary is for the adventurous and people who want to get BUSY during their time here to see as much as possible. It includes quite a bit of driving and lots of activities. Whilst this itinerary is jam-packed, you can easily choose what you want from each day to give you more downtime, and spread some of the activities over multiple days to cut down on your driving time - it's very easily manipulated to suit your needs.

Discovering Aberdeen: Scotlandā€™s Granite City Highlights
Aberdeen, fondly dubbed the Granite City, is steeped in history, culture, and stunning natural beauty. Nestled on Scotlandā€™s northeast coast, it charms visitors with its unique blend of urban sophistication and rural tranquility. Hereā€™s a concise guide to the top areas to explore on your Aberdeen adventure.
Old Aberdeen
Stepping into Old Aberdeen is like stepping back in time. Rich in history, this area is home to King's College, one of the UK's oldest universities, and St. Machar's Cathedral, a gem of medieval architecture. Walk along the cobbled streets and take in the quaint buildings and serene gardens that make you feel like youā€™ve entered a different era. Donā€™t miss Seaton Park, a sprawling green sanctuary perfect for leisurely strolls and picturesque picnics.
Aberdeen Beach
Aberdeen Beach isnā€™t just a beach; itā€™s a beloved local attraction that offers something for everyone. The expansive sandy shore is ideal for a refreshing walk or an invigorating dip in the North Sea. Thrill-seekers can catch waves surfing, while families will love the beachfront amenities, including cafes, ice cream parlors, and an amusement park with fun-filled rides.
