Aberdeen Sightseeing Tours: Embark on an enthralling expedition through time with the Aberdeen Ancient Heritage and Folklore Tour, an immersive seven-and-a-half-hour escapade unveiling the fascinating history of the Picts – the early denizens of northeast Scotland. Immerse yourself in the captivating tales, traditions, and legends of these ancient settlers while traversing stunning landscapes and exploring historic sites.

Commencing at Barra Hill, delve into the remnants of a hillfort from the Bronze Age, gaining profound insights into the lives of the early communities that flourished here. As you meander through fields and off-road paths, the palpable history beneath your feet comes alive. The journey then takes you to Rhynie, a Pictish stronghold boasting intriguing sites such as Square Barrows and intricately carved Pictish stones. Uncover the secrets of this once-thriving community that may have rivalled post-Roman settlements in Europe. Dunnideer Hillfort offers a glimpse into the past with its ruined castle perched on the remains of a vitrified hill fort. A stop at Monymusk for a delectable lunch at Grant Arms amidst the 19th-century village charm is included. Migvie Kirk unfolds the transition of native Picts to Christianity through its stone chairs and symbolic artwork. Finally, at Tomnaverie Stone Circle, witness the enigmatic recumbent stones flanked by upright ones, dating back 4,500 years, and explore the mysteries enveloping this unique monument.

This Ancient Heritage and Folklore Tour transcend mere time travel – it's an extraordinary gift for history enthusiasts, providing a day brimming with discovery and awe.
