Arrival Day | Dunnottar Castle
You will be welcomed into Scotland by a member of our team who will assist you to The Chester Hotel, your accommodation for the next few evenings. It is a stunning four star plus, 19th Century house hotel in Aberdeen which is located on Queen’s Road surrounded by historic buildings. The Chester more closely resembles a set of classy condominiums than a hotel. You will begin your experience by travelling to Dunnottar Castle. Here, set on a rugged clifftop, you will find one of the most awe-inspiring castles in Scotland, Dunnottar Castle. Due to its clear defensive position, this castle is credited with allowing Scotland to remain a nation. The castle held off a six-month siege from Oliver Cromwell, who was attempting to breach its walls and destroy the Scottish Crown Jewels. During the six months, at some point the jewels were smuggled from within the castle to safety and can still be seen today within Edinburgh Castle
