The 2.5-mile (4 km) walk from Mintlaw to Longside along the Buchan and Formartine Way is a pleasant walk through nature with interesting historical touches. The only drawback is the noise from the nearby Longside Peterhead road. Along the way, you'll notice diverse trees like rowan, elder, and hawthorn. Keep an eye out for historic features like Bridge 718 with remains of telegraph wires. Approaching Longside, the trail passes through fields on an embankment covered with willows. Look out for Longside Station with its overgrown platforms.

The Old Parish Church, also known as Muckle Kirk, stands as a Category A listed church. Local builders, Robert and John Mitchell, undertook the construction of the church from 1804 to 1806, based on a design by Alexander Laing of Edinburgh. The church proudly houses the historic Burgerhuys bell, dating back to 1647.

This house marks the spot of the former Newseat station on the Peterhead branch of the Buchan and Formartine railway. The station was officially closed in 1965 and the former station building stood derelict for some time before being converted to this two story residential house.

Here the trail ducks under a low tunnel, an arch that is part of Auchlee Bridge carrying traffic over South Ugie Water and the Buchan and Formartine Way in Longside. The granite steps up the bridge leading from the path to the road show signs of quarrying.

Maud, formerly known as Brucklay is a quaint village that once served as a crucial junction for the Fraserburgh and Peterhead railway lines. The station, a lasting testament to its historical significance, now houses the Formartine & Buchan Railway Museum. Note that the museum operates seasonally during the summer, so it's advisable to check the opening times before planning your visit.
