The Carron
Fish and chips takeaway
👍👍 I recently visited the Carron last Weekend.
One of the first things that stood out to me was the price - it was very affordable and offered great value for money.
FISH
Moving on to the food itself, the fish was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior that added a nice crunch to each bite. The f...

The Waterfront Café Bar
Coffee shop
😠 Spoke to a couple of really nice waitresses and sat down outside, mistakenly thought the parasol was adjustable at the table (it had big letters on it saying up and down with arrows so an easy error to make) and so we tried to lower it to get better shelter from the rain, only for a different member...

RSPB Scotland Fowlsheugh

👍 Absolutely worth a visit to check out the birds and hopefully puffins! Really beautiful spot along the cliffs and so many interesting birds.
A word of warning though, arrive early if you can. Advisable to arrive on foot or bike if possible. The car park was already full at 10.30am (1 camper taking...

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 👍🏼👍🏼

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...
