Overview

Welcome to A Path Less Known Tours! I'm Jamie, your qualified STGA Green Badge tourist guide, and I'd love to show you Scotland's spectacular Buchan Coast.

Join me on a private 8.5-hour tour from Aberdeen, exploring dramatic cliffs, beaches and historic fishing villages.

Discover Gardenstown, Crovie and Pennan, where generations of fishing families shaped coastal life. We'll also explore the maritime heritage of Fraserburgh and Peterhead.

I'll share local stories and history that bring this coastline to life.

Depending on your interests and available time, we can visit Slains Castle and Troup Head, with opportunities for wildlife watching, photography and lunch. Puffins may be seen during their breeding season, but sightings aren't guaranteed.

With a maximum of seven guests, enjoy a relaxed, private experience with your own qualified local guide.

I look forward to showing you a path less known!
