What a beautiful day in the North East of Scotland today. I would like to introduce you to our new Supporter, P&J Live. Watch this space as we have an exciting project planned for later this year. Here is the link to their blog on our North East 250 website:

In the heart of Aberdeen, P&J Live has become one of the North East’s standout destinations for events, entertainment, exhibitions, conferences, and unforgettable experiences.

Our amazing supporters, Naomi and Neil of Grape Soda Travels love this part of Scotland (as we do) and are posting some superb videos of their travels. Here is one from around Braemar and Linn of Dee:

Continuing our exploration of Aberdeen we have The Gordon Highlanders Museum. A beautiful place and somewhere that immerses you in the history. Rejuvenated afterwards by a cuppa and a scone.

As you travel the route into and through Speyside there is a beautiful distillery at Ballindalloch Distillery.

As a family-owned distillery it opened its doors in 2014, but the story behind it stretches back centuries. The Macpherson-Grant family has cared for the Ballindalloch Estate since 1546, and their vision was simple: create a distillery that respects traditional craftsmanship while showcasing the very best of Speyside whisky.
Visitors often describe their experience here as personal, welcoming, and refreshingly authentic.

Ballindalloch Castle, Grounds and Distillery are one of founding NE250 Partners and Ballindalloch Distillery will be joining us at the Royal Highland Show 18 - 21 June 2026. Do come and visit us.

Tucked away in the heart of Speyside, surrounded by rolling hills, historic castles, and the gentle flow of the River Spey, Ballindalloch Distillery is one of Scotland’s most unique whisky destinations.

There aren't many cities where you can walk to a quaint old village. In Aberdeen you can. Footdee is only a short walk from the ferry terminal NorthLink Ferries and the bus station. Lots of eating places and beautiful seafront.

Thank you so much for likes and comments on the first part of my journey between Banff and Macduff. Here is the second. My visit to Macduff Tarlair and the outdoor pool with Art Deco cafe, looked after by Friends of Tarlair. The pool is yet to be restored and is used by model boat enthusiasts. The cafe is open for business with a great team including volunteers providing hot meals and delicious cakes.
