What To Expect

Balvenie Castle

Visit the evocative ruins of Balvenie Castle, perched on a rocky escarpment near Dufftown in Scotland’s Speyside whisky heartland. Originally built in the 12th century by the Comyn family and later expanded by the Douglas and Stewart earls, this fortress reflects military power, Renaissance elegance, and clan politics across centuries. Today, the castle—overseen by Historic Environment Scotland—invites you to roam its curtain walls, vaulted great hall, Atholl Lodging, and deep defensive ditch, all surrounded by rural tranquility and whisky heritage. Explore the legacy of sieges, royal visits, and architectural layers in a setting that blends history with the Moray landscape.The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed.It is not possible to skip the security lines.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
