I live in Aberdeen, born and bred, and it has been so interesting seeing the Granite City from above. I’m retired now with lots of time on my hands so you have reminded me of many places I can revisit for some beautiful walks. We are very privileged in Aberdeen to have so many beautiful parks, aren’t we? Thank you for this amazing video🙏🏴

Thankyou for such great suggestions of places to visit in Aberdeenshire. We're looking at coming to Scotland in August '25 and have been wondering where to stay and what to see and I was considering this area as a base, that's how I found your video, thank you for your time.

Great. I'm glad the video has been helpful. You will love Aberdeenshire. I have one more video I made about the shire with 10 more places (and less castles). That may be helpful... Enjoy!

One of the first videos I have seen on Aberdeenshire made by an outsider without bias, and very well done. I am from NE Scotland but lived all over, as far as Inverness, I lived close to Corse Castle ruin in a place called Cushnie for about 15 years, that castle is unfortunately becoming a bit too unstable and will likely have a big collapse in a decade or so. If you carry on from Corse Castle towards Tarland there is a great view over the Cromar valley towards the mountains of Lochnaggar, Mount Keen, Morvern and Clachnaben, great area for walkers and mountain bikers. Craigiever Castle is also an attractive little keep close to Corse Castle ruin. If you like outdoor pursuits like kayaking, gliding, shooting, fishing, hill walking, mountain biking, climbing and even wind surfing (plenty wind on the North Sea but cold) Aberdeenshire caters for all of it. Great thing is we have plenty of space and it is not crowded

I'm somewhat disappointed that you didn't show Footdee (Fittie) the first social housing in Aberdeen dating back into the 1600's. It orriginally had two squares but they built a middle row to meet housing needs. Footdee or Fittie to the locals is opposite the Torry Battery and approching from the other direction just past the Cadona's Funfair and heading to the harbour. Another worthy place is Provast Skene's house dating back to the 1600's (I may be wrong on the date) but Aberdeen council when demolishing St. Nicolas House in 2014 built another monstrosity covering the Provast's house from view. It's still there you just need to cross to the other side of Marshall Collage and go round the back of the glass monstrosity and you will find access to the house. The Duke of Cumberland stayed here for 6 weeks on his march north to the battle of Culloden Moor on 16th April 1746. Other places of note are The Art Gallery on Schoolhill. There are other places in the city facing to the harbour is Provast Ross's house which has all sorts of displays and information about The Oil Industry.

Dunnottar, that's my family's old place 😊 My mum was a Keith, descended from a son of Robert Dunnottar, the Rev. James Keith, Colonial clergy, who sailed to America from Aberdeen in 1640s to set up a parish at Bridgewater Massachusetts where his parsonage still stands 😊 I've read he "filled New England with Keiths" including my Grampa Bill's greatgreatgreats😊 I never knew any of this until I retired in 2019 and jumped into Ancestry during Covid.I so wish my mum were still around to know it too, she'd have loved it!❤ Thanks for posting.

I was born in Ellon in 1960 - but only because Peterhead didn't have a maternity hospital then! Although I left the area in 1973 I'm still a "Buchan Loon" - my attachment to North East Scotland is very strong. I had a feeling Slains might be your fav spot. My own children are in their 30s now and I took them to Slains from an early age. During our infrequent visits now from our homes in Midlothian, a visit to Slains is always on our list. Thank you for posting such an interesting, high quality, video.

Great video, thank you. I want to move to rural Scotland but am torn between Aberdeenshire and Inverness-Shire. I prefer trees and lush green valleys to the more remote moorlands. Would you say Aberdeenshire is best? 🦋
@HarlieRaethel8 ай бұрын
Both are beautiful… I would favor Aberdeenshire for 2 main reasons. One being sunshine - the east coast statistically gets more sun. The second is accessibility to the rest of the UK is quicker and easier from Aberdeenshire.

Born in Kintore. 70 years ago. In Kingsfield Road. Down past the amazing Church. The cemetery at the top on the way to Inverurie. School. Cycled most days when I worked at Hays in Inverurie. Golf course. The Shakin' Briggie. Chippie. 3 hotels. Torryburn, Crown and Kintore Arms. The old fountain in the square in front of an amazing building. Scott the Bakers. Cafe in school road. The football team. And especially the cricket team when KintoreCC were top dogs in the Aberdeenshire Grades League. Moved to Inverurie for a short while. Then to Aberdeen. Graduated from Aberdeen University and moved to London where I now live with my wife of 50 years and a huge family to boot. Miss the old place. Life was simple in the 50s and 60s. Thank you for the memories. Tears come easily.
