We saw a puffin, thanks to Darryl!

leahp980, May 2026

Darryl made this a fun day for us! We had done a tour the previous day that had some duplications, and Darryl adjusted for us. We saw The Maiden Stone (a standing stone), stopped in Huntly at a shortbread factory (with a great gift shop), visited a distillery, saw seals and Fiddle Bow Rock, stopped in Cullen for Cullen Skink, visited a rock shop at Portsoy harbor, stopped at the ruins of Deer Abbey, and helped us spot a puffin at the Bullers of Buchan (we had been there 2 days earlier and didn't see any!). We had already been to Slain's Castle, so while the others on the tour visited there, Darryl dropped us off at Kilmarnock Arms Hotel so we could see where Bram Stoker wrote part of Dracula. We had a great time! I would recommend this tour!

Darrel (I think his name was) was so helpful and informative. He made it fun spotting a puffin and with his quizzes etc. Really enjoyed our trip. Would definitely recommend.
