The beautiful seal beach at Newburgh where the seals primarily gather across the water on the Forvie Spit (part of the Forvie National Nature Reserve). You can easily look across the narrow estuary from the Newburgh shoreline to view them resting and playing. The absolute best time to go is just after low tide.

As always, keep your distance and be respectful. There is paid parking which helps to support the Newburgh & Ythan trust who help maintain and protect the area.

There's more to Aberdeenshire than meets the eye!

Tucked away behind historic walls and within beautiful country estates are some wonderful gardens, each with its own fascinating stories to tell.

From Anne Cruickshank's botanical legacy to the magnificent gardens at Pitmedden, the ancient trees of Ellon Castle Gardens and the historic walled garden at Castle Fraser, there's so much to discover.

Our latest blog explores these beautiful places and the people who shaped them. And we're delighted to be bringing them together in our new Historic Gardens of Aberdeenshire Tour for 2027!

Take a look at our latest blog and discover a greener side of northeast Scotland.

The Falls of Feugh were looking full today after recent rain. No doubt they will be thunderous by end of the weekend with the storms expected Saturday and Sunday. We managed to get a little sun this afternoon making the last of the autumn colours stand out beautifully.

Did a bit of exploring and visited the Ellon Castle Gardens. I admit choosing to visit a garden in October might not have been prime season, but this lovely spot still had plenty to see & smell.

The top terrace has a scented rose garden which still had lots of blooms to admire. A beautiful setting managed by volunteers and much loved by the community.

There is still time for you to enjoy the scented roses this autumn.

Taking advantage of a sunny autumn morning at Seaton Park to visit the fabulous Benholm Tower recently refurbished and opened as cafe. A little corner in the sun with a flat white and oatie biscuit.

A brilliant community space and certainly worth visiting.

We took a trip to Dundee a few weeks ago for a bot of a wander. In the past we've tended to visit the riverside area with its museums but this time we explored a bit further.

The impressive McManus museum is one to add to your list if visiting Dundee. The building houses a museum and art gallery with a collection of fine and decorative art as well as a natural history collection.

We have some fab bridges over the River Dee. It is highly significant as the only structure in Scotland designed by the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Ironically, Queen Victoria reportedly disliked the completed structure because she felt it lacked ornamentation. What do you think?

This time of the year nature is starting to show her autumn colours. No wonder its my favourite time if the year to be outdoors.

With so many castles to choose from in Royal Deeside, Braemar has a unique history worth exploring. From military outpost, to hunting lodge and high society getaway, over 400 years of stories to share.
