RE: Aberdeen
i would take the train to elgin from aberdeen,aprox £12 and then take the local bus service if you are not thinking of hiring a car to get round .most of the whisky trail towns are served by the local bus ie abelour, cragellichie, rothes, keith .they are not too expensive£8-10 max.there are also b+b and hotels very close to the railway station in elgin and they will keep you right as to how to get to where you want to go or their is a tourist info centre in elgin .i live in elgin and if you want more info just give me a shout and i will try and help.
