Can have lunch in Aberdeen before people head home on the Sunday.
All sounds good to me. I haven't got any preference for food on Friday or Saturday night - I am not a fussy eater. On Friday it seems I would arrive at ABZ at 1920 so I can just join when I get there (about 2000?).
Distillery tour in Speyside sounds good for Saturday afternoon. There are plenty around there so I am sure we can find one to accommodate us. I have heard good things about Abelour, Glenfarclas, Strathisla, Glen Moray, or Glen Grant. The first three especially are supposed to be good tours.
There is also a
cooperage nearby which accepts visitors. As a big whisky drinker this would be of interest to me, but probably not to many others? Possibly may work as an afternoon combination with a distillery tour?

Around Aberdeen we each have a pair of legs able to be utilised
Looks like you are already well advanced with the planning ^ I am looking forward to this one.
