Wagglehill & Portsoy - Highland Cows & Coastal Craft Tour

Step ashore and experience the rich character of Aberdeenshire through a carefully curated small-group tour blending coastal heritage, film connections, local makers and an exclusive farm experience.

Designed to deliver authentic access and meaningful local connections, this experience combines behind-the-scenes storytelling, hands-on encounters and premium inclusions — all brought together through Your Vibe Tours’ trusted relationships with local businesses and communities.

Your journey begins with shore pick-up in Aberdeen (with staggered local collections available), travelling through the Aberdeenshire countryside to the historic harbour town of Portsoy.

On arrival, guests are welcomed at the Port House Café with coffee and homemade cake included — a relaxed start and time to refresh before the experience unfolds.

To ensure a more personal and engaging experience, the group divides into two smaller hosted journeys:

Coastal Craft & Design Experience

Guests are guided through Portsoy’s oldest street for exclusive access to Highland Tweedery.

Here, maker Gael shares her creative journey, showcasing her handcrafted tweed collections and offering a preview of her upcoming 2026 designs — a rare opportunity to step inside a working artisan studio.

“Seen on Screen” & Local Stories

Hosted by Your Vibe Tours, guests meet local resident Sharon, who shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of Peaky Blinders in Portsoy.

This experience brings the harbour to life through exclusive insights, before continuing to the Portsoy Marble Shop to discover the heritage of this unique local stone and hear about the community’s exciting £400,000 development vision.

Guests then swap experiences, ensuring all enjoy both elements.

The group reconvenes at the harbour for a light-hearted and memorable finale:

• Flat cap photo opportunity (provided)
• Whisky Galore storytelling moment
• A small whisky tasting included

The experience continues inland to Delgatie Castle, where guests enjoy a relaxed lunch in a private dining space reserved exclusively for Your Vibe Tours.

A selection of traditional Scottish flavours is served, including Cullen skink or alternative soup options alongside sandwiches — offering comfort, quality and a sense of place within a historic setting.

In the afternoon, guests are welcomed to Wagglehill Farm for a truly special and exclusive experience not open to the general public.

Hosted by owner Amanda, this immersive visit offers the chance to:

• Meet, feed and brush Highland cattle up close
• Learn about farm life and animal care
• Hear the personal story behind the farm

This experience is built on a long-standing relationship, with Wagglehill having been part of Your Vibe Markets for over four years — ensuring a genuine and trusted connection.
