Ok.
What was Run Banchory has been reimagined as a full on adventure festival. We currently have vacancies for the weekend but I doubt we will for long.

Lovely to hear the guests excitment at seeing our pine martin. It has been in and about alot this summer which has decreased the red squirrel visits but they are both around.
24 different birds...they were only here on a short visit!

There are definitely fish in the Dee this year. Our guest from the States was the first to land a salmon while staying at Sandy's. Current guests have multiple salmon including a 12lb fish that was the biggest caught on the river that day.

Cyclist is not wrong.
But they have left out the hundreds of miles of gravel routes and the growing number of highly rated mountainbike destinations. Oh and they forgot to mention us in the accommodation section.
