Scotland in a Weekend

Whether it is castles, culture, shopping or a game of golf at a spectacular country course, a two-day trip to the sparkling Granite City of Aberdeen can encompass them all.

“The essence of Scotland is encapsulated in the Aberdeen area.  Everything you could want to experience on a trip to Scotland is here on our doorstep.  For the growing number of cities across Europe that now have direct flights into Aberdeen it is the perfect opportunity for people to experience the best of Scotland easily and cost-effectively.  So, just like the region’s famed malt whisky, we can distil it into an unforgettable experience concentrated over a weekend."
Peter Medley, Director and General Manager

A Skene House hotel suite offers exceptional value for money and a home-away-
from-home while you sample the delights of this seaside city and the attractions on our doorstep. Within minutes the bustle of the city slips out of sight as the imposing granite mansions give way to lush countryside studded with pink fairytale castles, cloaked in green swathes of pine-clad hills and streaming with ribbons of silver rivers that provide the clear, pure water to produce our national drink – whisky.

Couples or groups of friends could enjoy a whistle-stop tour of the sights, sounds and sensations of Scotland:

WHISKY - a trip to one of the seven working distilleries on the Whisky Trail
GOLF - a round of golf on one of the 30 courses within 30 minutes drive of the city centre
CASTLE - a visit to one of the enchanting castle on the area's Castle Trail
SCOTTISH FEAST – an evening where the best local produce from Scotland’s Larder, as the area is known, is used to create a traditional Scottish menu
SCOTTISH MUSIC - listen to the skirl of the bagpipe from a piper in full tartan splendour or enjoy an evening of Scottish folk music

And Aberdeen is also a cosmopolitan city offering a wide range of stores, a packed theatre and music programme, galleries, museums and great restaurants and bars.

A dedicated Groups and Events Coordinator will plan your complete itinerary.  Transfers, car or coach hire can also be arranged.
