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.

This part of the trail passes through a couple of small forests before reaching Maud. It cuts under former railway tunnels along a smooth accessible surfaces, making it suitable for wheelchair users and cyclists as well as hikers. At Maud, you have two choices. Firstly, decide whether to visit the village. The path splits – the left takes you into the village centre, and the right bypasses it. It's worth exploring Maud, where you'll find shops, cafes, a hotel, and the Formartine and Buchan Railway Museum. Secondly, you need to choose whether to continue to Peterhead or take a detour to Fraserburgh. Both stick to the former railway line, and offer fine scenery throughout.

A good and very flat section of the cycle way. Just north of Auchnagatt can be muddy and rockier than other sections of the line, and exposed to the wind. The views across the farmland are good.

The lake makes a great loop to run, and is often filled with wildlife. A whole loop is about 1km. There is plenty of parking in Mintlaw. The bridge here makes a good picture.

The café, while it doesn’t have any vegan aid in the menu, they will adapt the panini for you and they do soya lattes.

The Formartine and Buchan Way is a multi-user trail that follows the old railway line from Dyce in the south to Fraserburgh on the north coast. There is also a branch line that splits from the main trail at Maud and heads east to the coast at Peterhead. This section is well surfaced and suitable for all riders.

The observatory tower was built in 1845 to provide a raised platform to observe the estate. In 1993 the local council bought the tower and began restoration. It's now structurally sound and occasionally open to the public. It makes a good target if running around Pitfour lake and up into the woods from Mintlaw.
