Overview
Spend a day on Scotland's most dramatic coast, and finish at the world's first climate-positive distillery — with a guide who can read 400 million years of history in the cliffs at your feet.
This full-day tour from Aberdeen takes you down the wild Mearns and Angus coast to five remarkable places: a clifftop viewpoint where the Highlands meet the Lowlands, a working fishing harbour, a hidden coastal foreshore where some of the earliest plants ever to grow on dry land left their fossils, the abandoned 19th-century lime kilns at Boddin Point, and the Arbikie Distillery — where pioneering gins are distilled from peas grown on the family farm.
Your guide is Steve Adams — a working geologist with 45 years of experience and a knack for making rocks come alive.
No geology background needed. Most of our guests don't have one. They tell us afterwards they had no idea geology could be this interesting.

-
Hill Of Garvock ViewpointA spectacular viewpoint overlooking the boundary between the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. We'll get our bearings, take in the views, and unpack a few basic geological ideas that'll make sense of everything you see for the rest of the day. Don't worry — no homework.
-
JohnshavenA working fishing village with one of the prettiest harbours on the Angus coast. We'll walk the foreshore and read the story written in the rocks — ancient riverbeds, dried lake mud, and the traces of one of Scotland's earliest desert landscapes.
-
St CyrusA chance to hunt for fossils of some of the earliest plants ever to grow on dry land, and to see traces of Scotland's historic lime industry up close.
-
MontroseA proper seaside lunch at a restaurant locals love. Time to relax, refuel, and watch the sea. Lunch cost not included — budget around £15–£25 per person.
-
Boddin Point Lime KilnsA hidden gem most visitors never find. Volcanic cliffs, an abandoned 19th-century lime industry, and views down a wild stretch of coast. Time for photos and stories about Scotland's industrial past meeting its volcanic deep history.
-
Arbikie DistilleryThe grand finale. Tour the working distillery on the Stirling family farm, learn how Arbikie became the world's first producer of climate-positive gin (made from peas, of all things), and taste three of their craft gins. A genuine field-to-bottle story you won't hear anywhere else in Scotland.
