Hi
My girlfriend and I will be visiting Edinburgh and Aberdeen in June. She is especially interested in creepy Gothic castles :). We are flying out of Aberdeen, so I was thinking to take a guided tour from there. There are plenty of tours from Edinburgh and Glasgow on the internet, but none from Aberdeen. Can anyone here point us in the right direction?
Also, any advice about stuff to do around Aberdeen is welcome (keep in mind that my gf is not very fit).

Thanks!

As for a tour, pass. Aberdeen is not exactly on the beaten path for tourism in Scotland. You could always hire a car or get around using public transport (http://www.transportdirect.com).
