Worked and toured in Aberdeenshire and a few other jaunts west and south. Flew Delta/BA via Amsterdam to Aberdeen.
Aberdeen area... golfing nearby (Carnostie)
Stayed in Inverurie, which is in the middle of a castle and a whisky tour - (most of the Speyside "Glen" whiskies). Town had a Pict obelisk and a 'henge' circle you can walk on. No major hotels, but the Strathburn and staff were fantastic in INverurie.
Inverness was an hour drive north. Worth a visit and have the haggis... it won't kill ya.
Trek west for the Carringorms... hiking.
Head more north than Inverness and see Culloden.
Timing is everything. Late Spring through early Summer, the Broom is in bloom and butter yellow everywhere. Late Summer to mid-Fall the heather is abloom.

Went many years ago for a golf trip. But before we left, I got in bad bicycle wreck and messed up my arm. So no golf but it worked out because my dad and I spent lots of time touring around. At the time he wasn’t playing any golf because of his back. We didn’t go too far north but went to usual places like Edinburgh and St Andrew’s. If you can I would recommend staying at Gleneagles- it’s amazing. I think the Queens Course there is a nice track. Great trip!
