Attracting millions of visitors annually, this stunning region of many contrasts has a fantastic range of outdoor activities and visitor attractions on its doorstep, pertaining to its Doric heritage and culinary delights..

The Captial of the Grampian Highlands and Scotland’s third largest city, Aberdeen serves as an excellent base for city breaks or for exploring the multitude of hidden treasures and attractions dotted around Aberdeenshire and Moray. The city has an energising cosmopolitan feel and exudes affluence as a result of the North Sea Oil industry Boom since the mid 1970s. From its glistening array of granite buildings and colourful floral displays to its long golden sands and vibrant cultural calendar, Aberdeen undoubtedly merits its reputation as one of Europe’s most visited destinations for both leisure and business travellers.

During a visit to this remarkable region of contrasts, visitors are invited to follow one of the many heritage trails that criss-cross Aberdeenshire and The Grampian Highlands. Step back in time and take to the Castle Trail, where you can admire the awe-inspiring Balmoral Castle, Queen Elizabeth II ‘s Scottish residence, Castle Fraser and the magnificent Crathes Castle, each nestling amongst the backdrop of the Grampian Mountains. Alternatively, why not indulge and savour one of Scotland’s exports by embarking on the Malt Whiskey Trail around Aberdeenshire and Moray, boasting a fine array of distilleries and cooperage.

Outdoor enthusiasts are treated to an exuberant selection of sporting and leisure activities and enchanting scenery throughout Aberdeenshire and The Grampian Highlands. Take to the slopes of nearby Braemar for trekking in Spring, Summer and Autumn or skiing in Winter. In February, the area attracts thousands of skiers of varying levels of competency from around the globe to the Braemar Telemark Festival, a truly international and energising affair. Alternatively, head to the coast to play a round of golf in one of the many world-class link courses or relax empty golden sands that surround Aberdeenshire’s and Moray’s breathtaking littoral- the perfect retreat to recharge those batteries.
