The programme

Cross Aberdeen on a bus and listen to your guide: the story begins with the iconic places of this city, facing out over the North sea.
Inaccessible towers, gardens and tales of ghosts: at Crathes Castle, discover everything that makes Scotland…Scotland!
Step beyond the walls of Crathes castle, one of the best-preserved in Scotland, and wander through the 16th century, past precious tapestries, antique furniture, portraits and family heirlooms. They belong to the Burnetts, who lived in this castle from the second half of the 16th century until 1951.
Look up and admire the painted ceilings that distinguish some of the rooms, including the Green Lady's Room, named after the ghost that haunts it. She is even said to have been seen by Queen Victoria herself!
Then, leave mystery behind and take advantage of your free time to wander through the gardens, with their enormous variety of plants and trees, eight thematic areas and artistically-trimmed hedges.
