North East Scotland Grand Tour - bespoke

A spectacular week of Mountains and Beaches, Castles and Cities

The north-east of Scotland is full of the most spectacular mountains, dramatic coastlines and vibrant cities - and has more castles than just about anywhere else!

This itinerary is based on the official North East 250 route, the smaller brother of the famous North Coast 500.

Here, we've assumed you're starting in Edinburgh, but this route works really well from just about anywhere. If you're flying in, you could start in Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh or Glasgow - or if you're arriving by train or bringing your own car, there are excellent connections to the rest of the UK.
