Whisky On The Rocks Full Day Geo Tour
Experience Scotland’s geology, landscapes, and whisky heritage in depth on this immersive full-day Whisky 'On The Rocks' GeoTour. Your day begins at Aberdeen before travelling south to Perthumie Bay, where metamorphosed ocean sediments reveal Scotland’s origins deep beneath ancient seas. From here, you’ll continue to the clifftops above Stonehaven Golf Club, enjoying sweeping views across the Highland Boundary Fault — one of Scotland’s most important geological divides. You’ll spend time exploring the Midland Valley Terrane, beginning with the volcanic intrusions and Old Red Sandstone river and lake deposits at Cowie Shore. After a relaxed lunch (location TBC), the tour continues via the iconic Dunnottar Castle to Crawton, where you’ll walk among superbly exposed Devonian lava flows, coastal waterfalls, and a nationally important seabird colony. The day concludes at Fettercairn Distillery, where you’ll enjoy a full guided tour and tasting.
