Aberdeenshire & Morayshire
This area stretches north and west from the ‘granite city’ of Aberdeen, up along the north sea coast, with its long stretches of sandy beach, to Fraserburgh, or ‘The Broch’ as it is locally known. You then turn the corner to find a string of charming fishing villages such as Pennan, Crovie, Cullen and Gardenstown and more superb beaches. Inland from Aberdeen there is a hugely scenic drive along the river Dee into the heart of Royal Deeside.

Plenty to Explore
There are many whisky distilleries in Speyside and Aberdeen, a bustling city with good transport connections with the rest of the UK, has a charming old university and a distinct architecture, many of the buildings being built from granite. Aberdeen is a convenient base for exploring the wider region.

The countryside to the north and west of Aberdeen is often unfairly overlooked as a holiday destination. It is actually full of interest, with attractive and peaceful countryside, beautiful gardens, good walking, cycling, fishing, golfing and on its edge some magnificent beaches.
There are many historic, archaeological and other attractions, the most famous being Balmoral, the Royal Family's holiday residence on Deeside. The area thus offers the visitor a wide variety of activities from which to choose.

Wow, an amazing holiday cottage in an even more stunning location, Richard looked after us, he was a great host, the view from the cottage is ever changing but always astonishing, saw golden eagles most days, sea eagle on the great Sea Trek from Miavaig, bone white sands and turquoise seas on both lewis and Harris, done lots of holidays on Scotland West coast and it never let's us down. Hard to find a beach better than Reef on Bhaltos but Uig pushed it close. Planning another visit 2027. | |
