스코틀랜드 북동부 최고의 라이딩 경로

There's nothing more to see here than a gate. Hidden behind it, of course, is Balmoral Castle, the famous summer residence of the British royal family. With a ticket, we were able to visit it with our bikes in hand, which was really nice.

During our cycling trip through the Cairngorms, we slept in a bothy every night, but we didn't find it anywhere else as comfortable as this one ;-) Delicious coffee and food. Plenty of room for everyone, and with an outdoor shop next door, it's also the perfect place to stock up on rations.

Dont be put off by the modern concrete exterior of the V&A. Its very nice inside and worth a visit.

Steep steady climb so take your time

One of Aberdeenshire's iconic climbs. Steep but short!

Hard to argue with the long views as you zoom along. And very little traffic.

The discovery is a great attraction, and the ship can be boarded and explored. Right next to the V&A which often has free exhibits. The waterfront is a good place for a walk.

The visitor centre is quite informative about the local flora and fauna. Car parking spaces have increased greatly with the opening of the parking area nearer the visitor centre. In May 2024, the parking fee was £5 per day payable using various methods at a machine including contactless.
