Wagglehill Farm – An Exclusive Highland Cow Experience

Your journey begins with shore pick-up in Aberdeen (with staggered local collections available), travelling through the Aberdeenshire countryside to Wagglehill Farm.

Guests are welcomed for a truly special and exclusive experience not open to the public or any other tour operators. Access is granted solely to Your Vibe Tours through a long-standing relationship with owner Amanda, built over years of collaboration through Your Vibe Events markets.

This personal and immersive visit allows guests to:

• Meet Amanda and hear her story firsthand
• Get up close with Highland cattle — feed, brush and interact
• Gain insight into farm life, animal care and rural traditions

A highlight moment is time to pause and fully take in the Aberdeenshire countryside, enjoying tea or coffee served with locally made shortbread, a much-loved regional speciality.

Through Turriff – Stories of Local Character

Leaving the farm, the journey continues through the town of Turriff, where guests are introduced to one of the area’s most famous and light-hearted tales — the story of the Turriff cow, now commemorated as a sculpture in the town centre.

This storytelling moment adds a layer of local character and charm, bringing the landscape to life.

Delgatie Castle – Heritage, Flavours & Creativity

Arriving at Delgatie Castle, guests step into a setting rich in history and atmosphere.

A private dining space is reserved exclusively for Your Vibe Tours guests, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment to enjoy a locally inspired lunch. A selection of traditional Scottish options is served, including Cullen skink or alternative soups alongside sandwiches — all included.

In the afternoon, guests are invited into the Ballroom of the castle for a workshop experience, designed to reflect the immersive style of Your Vibe Tours:

• Grounding wellness session inspired by the peaceful surroundings
  or
• Creative workshop led by a local maker, offering a hands-on activity with a take-home keepsake

This element allows guests to slow the pace, engage creatively and experience the castle in a unique and memorable way.

Guests also have time to explore the grounds and capture photos, completing a well-rounded heritage experience.
