The Aberdeen & Grampian Tourist Board describes the area as ` Royal Deeside, Whisky, Castles & Coast` & it is easy to see why. The royal connection is most obvious around Balmoral, & there are castles & distilleries throughout the area. There are also spectacular coastal routes, such as Collieston & the Sands of Forvie, Cruden Bay & the Bullers of Buchan, & a route from Cullen along a disused railway that takes walkers past Bow Fiddle Rock. Magnificent views of the surrounding countryside can be seen from Scolty Hill, Tap o` Noth (site of an Iron Age fort) & Mither Tap. This fully revised edition
Includes:: brand new walks at Loch of Fyvie, Glen Tanar & Tarl&.
