Welcome to Aberdeenshire

From granite city to magnificent coast....

Discover the duality of the beautiful coast and the flourishing Granite City of Aberdeen.

Boasting beautiful architecture and cultural gems, Aberdeenshire is much loved by the Royal Family and has a rich heritage, offering lively events and a selection of thrilling activities.

With its rolling countryside, cosmopolitan city, and stunning coastline there's something for everyone - explore ancient castles, visit the Cairngorms National Park, sample fine whiskies in historic distilleries, tee off on more than 50 outstanding golf courses, or fish on Rivers such as The Deveron.  Aberdeenshire boasts both a Castle Trail with fairytale-like cliff top ruins, imposing fortresses with tales of gruesome battles, and a magnificent coastal trail; 165 miles of dramatic cliffs, secluded coves and beaches, picturesque towns, and fantastic nature reserves.

From snowboarding at The Lecht and Glenshee to surfing coastal waves in some of the best conditions there is plenty of choice for activities. 

Walkers can enjoy the low level walks in the forests or tackle the Munros and Corbetts at higher level.  Anglers will love the world famous rivers such as The Dee and The Don.

The region's fertile farmland yields a wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables, fresh fish are caught from the local rivers and quality lamb, venison and beef are readily available.  Salmon & trout from the rivers are served fresh or smoked to produce distinctive flavours.  Lobster, crab and lemon sole are landed at the ports and Aberdeen Angus beef is renowned the world over - so you won't go hungry!
