EXCURSIONS IN
ABERDEENEssential nearby stops in Scotland
With its excellent transport connections, Aberdeen makes
the best starting point for exploring the wide variety of
attractions throughout North East Scotland. The 165-mile
North East Coastal Trail traces the edge of the diverse
Donmouth Nature Reserve, home to sea trout, porpoises
and soaring peregrine falcons. A wander through the region
could lead you to unforgettable castles, cliff-fringed harbours,
and even the Braemar Gathering of kilt-clad competitors at
the Scottish Games. Here are just a few highlights.
