Things To Do

Coastal Trail »

From St Cyrus on the edge of Grampian, via the turning point at Kinnaird Head and on to Findhorn on the Moray coast, the coastline of this area runs for more than 150 miles.

Walking & Climbing

From Lochnagar and the old paths across the Mounth, to the gentler slopes of Bennachie, upland Grampian has excellent walking. Don’t overlook the coastal options, with some rugged walks, notably on the shores of the Moray Firth.

Fishing in Aberdeenshire »

Host to three important salmon and sea trout rivers, the Dee, Don and Deveron, Aberdeenshire offers some classic game fishing opportunities. Sea angling is also good along its rich and varied coastline.

Old Aberdeen

Old Aberdeen’s most famous landmark is the crown-spire of King’s College Chapel, the centre of the campus of Aberdeen University. Cobbled streets, ivy-clad academic buildings and little town-houses all add to the atmosphere.

Wildlife of Aberdeenshire »

The sandy beaches, shingle strands and cliffs that flank the coastal fringe of this huge area have excellent wildlife-watching opportunities.

Adventure »

A real Scotland adventure in stunning scenery can take many forms. It may well involve water – everything from gentle canoeing to the adrenalin rush of white water rafting!
