For those in pursuit of leisure we are ideally situated for exploring the north east. Fraserburgh bay is a popular spot for surfers, with a fabulous sandy beach. Kinnaird head lighthouse, the first lighthouse to be built in Scotland has the only museum in the UK dedicated to the history of lighthouses. Adjacent to this is the Fraserburgh heritage centre which depicts a celebration of local life and history. Grassy sand dunes around the coast to the east of Fraserburgh take you to Cairnbulg, Inverallochy and St Combs. On from here is the RSPB reserve at loch of Strathbeg, the largest dune loch in the UK, with thousands of wild geese, swans and ducks that fly in for the winter. During spring and summer gulls, terns and wading birds raise their young and occasionally an otter can be spotted. Continuing around the coast the extraordinary sand dune landscape around Rattray, with its lighthouse, must be the best example of its type in the UK. To the west of Fraserburgh the coast is rugged granite cliffs. Old fishing villages like Pennan, Crovie and Gardenstown are perched just above the sea, connected to the rest of the world by small roads snaking up the cliffs. The RSPB reserve at Troup head is home to 150,000 seabirds including gannets, fulmars, kittiwakes and guillemots even the occasional puffin. Further around the coast, the town of Macduff is home to a spectacular marine aquarium with a vast range of local sea life. A regular feeding of the fish in the kelp reef display by a diver and numerous other displays with informative boards ensure a very worthwhile visit. Duff House is close by, which was designed by William Adam and built between 1735 and 1740 as the seat of the Earls of Fife. Inland there is a wealth of agriculture, castles, distillery's and mansion houses of note. National trust for Scotland has Haddo House (Ellon), Fyvie castle (Turriff) and Leith Hall (Huntly) whilst for the gardener there is Pitmedden Garden (Ellon). Aden Country Park is a prime destination to experience Aberdeenshire's farming history and an enjoyable family day out. Once the home of the Russell family, Aden now houses a splendid farming museum with tea room and is surrounded by large open spaces, forest walks and the ruin of Aden house. Cairness house near Lonmay, was built in the 1790s by Charles Gordon of Cairness and Buthlaw. The house was the heart of a 9000 acre estate which included the Loch of Strathbeg (an important RSPB nature reserve today). The Gordons of Cairness lived here until 1937 when the house was sold to the Countess of Southesk. After the Second World War, Cairness was used as a farmhouse and later was turned into bed sits. Falling into steady decline in subsequent years, the house is now being restored. Delgatie Castle near Turriff was most recently the home of the late Capt. Hay of Delgatie a Feudal Baron. The Castle has mostly been in the Hay family for the last 650 years. It was taken from the Earl of Buchan after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Like many Scottish castles, Delgatie was rebuilt in the 16th century, the main tower dates from about 1100. |
