Itinerary Changes

In August and September, the tour itinerary will change; we won't visit Troup Head but will instead go to Spey Bay, a coastal reserve with the largest shingle beach in Scotland and opportunities to observe a variety of wildlife, including dolphins. We will also see Aberlour, a picturesque village in Speyside on the banks of the River Spey.
