Hi,

We've visited Orkney and the Highlands last year, so we've decided to have a trip to the east this year.

We are travelling to Aberdeen between 8-13 May.

We'll arrive to Edinburgh around 1pm, rent a car and drive to Aberdeen.

What "must see" places do you recommend?

Where do we have the highest chance to see puffins/orcas/dolphins and which part of the day?

Where should we eat?

Which standing stones and castles should we visit?

If we have a half day for hiking where should we go?

Thank you in advence.
