Location: Culter, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom
The Deeside Way is a multi-user path that follows the route of the old Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Ballater. It's a 66km traffic free trail that's well maintained as part of the National Cycle Network. The trail isn't tarmacked so can become a bit muddy in places but it's always rideable.
Along the way you'll pass several old stations which used to serve the line. Culter station opened in 1853 as an intermediate stop on the line. It continued until 1966 when the line was closed to passengers.
Today you can see one of the old platforms, but the other platform and buildings are long gone.
