Scot Free Tours was set up three years ago by Lia Sanders to share the unknown and unusual stories of Aberdeen. Since then we have become the top-ranked tour provider in Aberdeen, collecting TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence in 2018 and 2019, with more than a hundred five-star reviews. As well as running four different free tours, we also have tours on Aberdeen’s dark history and craft beer scene.

In 2017 we expanded to cover more of the North East and have since created audio guides of Dundee, Inverness, St Andrews and Stonehaven to allow you to enjoy the Scot Free Tours experience at your own pace.

We are enthusiastic about telling stories from Aberdeen’s history and have conducted tailor-made private tours for many different occasions, from family reunions and hen parties to leaving-dos and conferences.

Sometimes I think I get a better view than my tour groups. Love this view of the Aberdeen Townhouse from Provost Skene's House.⁠

This is Martyrs' Monument in St Andrews, erected in 1842-3 to commemorate the gruesome executions (all burned alive) of 4 Protestants when Scotland was still a Catholic country in the sixteenth century.⁠
