Borsalino
Italian restaurant
👍👍 Last night me and my partner treated ourselves to a midweek date night and we are glad we did. We moved to the area almost a year ago and are very disappointed we did not try Borsalino sooner, it was fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful when asked any questions by myself or my partner during...

Blether
Coffee shop
👍 Very friendly staff that reacted nicely to questions, although it was busy. It was quite loud but I guess that's normal :))
They even have a gluten free menu, including e.g. sandwiches, soup and scones. (Which is very cool cause it's hard to find something like that gluten free)

The Ploughman
Restaurant
👍👍 We had a great family meal at The Ploughman. We turned up without a reservation and the staff who were very friendly kindly managed to fit us in. The service was excellent. But the food was just outstanding! Highly recommend the steak pie and the lasagne. All our food was so fresh and delicious. Por...

Six°North
Pub
👍 The beer is great! Unicorn and the Gooseberry one's recommended. Haven't been back in Scotland for years (for obvious reasons), this place and their fish & chips were an absolutely necessary stop off that a trip to Aberdeenshire would not be complete without 👍🏼👍🏼

Deeside Holiday Park
Holiday park
👍👍 Been here before with a tent. This time I was back with my touring caravan. Pretty quiet - most folk here live in static caravans, but it's clean and well run. Very handy for Aberdeen. I paid for a fully serviced pitch as there were no electric only pitches available on the website. When I got there...

Dunnottar Woods
Hiking area
👍 I've lived here over twenty years but rarely venture round the woods for the last 19 (some paths aren't crutch-friendly)🧑🦯 very scenic woods, clearly very popular too.
Just a shame all dog walkers don't keep their dogs leashed though, as I have animal-loving friends who are terrified when medium...
