      Activity itinerary

      Aberdeen
      • 1h
      We will collect you from your accommodation in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and take you the tour.
      Invercauld Suspension Bridge
      • 30m
      We cross the world famous 18th century Invercauld Bridge into the Ballochbuie Forest to start our walk.
      Ballochbuie Forest
      • 2h
      Walk to the Queens Retreat. Buried deep in the Ballochbuie Forest (a magnificent example of an ancient Caledonian Pine Forest and part of the Queens’ Balmoral Estate in Royal Deeside) lies the “Honka House”. This building, complete with sauna, was a gift from the people of Finland for the Queens silver wedding anniversary and has been a favourite picnic and BBQ spot for the Royal Family ever since. The walk continues to the stunning Falls of Garbh Allt. Queen Victoria (who loved to sketch there) had a beautiful iron bridge installed in 1878 and it is still in use today.

      After your walk it is time for lunch in the amazing Fife Arms Hotel, a work of art and attraction in itself.
