SCOTLAND'S BEST KEPT SECRET

[The Buchan Area]

The Buchan area of North East Scotland is a land steeped in rich culture and heritage. You can trace the work of our ancestors back for thousands of years. There are sites of interest which date back to the Druids, the Picts, Iron age through to the more recent Middle ages and Victorian times.
It is an area which is also rich in natural beauty. For the golf enthusiast, there are many first class courses (links and parkland) to choose from. Peterhead Golf Club is the 17th oldest golf club in the world and it's links course will challenge the best. Anglers are also well catered for with several rivers and fisheries in the area.
I hope to persuade you to come and visit our homeland someday by using the pictures which can be accessed from this page and also by the links to many other sites relating to the Buchan area.
This site will always be under construction but sit back and enjoy the tour so far.

Mormond Hill is the highest point in Buchan at a 733 feet. Sited on it's crest is the huge NATO and BT communications centres. Mormond Hill has a large white horse made of stones laid out on one side of the hill, while on the other side is a huge stag.

The beautiful rolling countryside of Buchan.

The North East Scotland Community Web page gives many more interesting links sites relating to our area. Find out more about the villages, business' and attractions of the Buchan area.

Aden Country Park in Mintlaw is a must for visitors to the area. Set in the grounds of the ruined Aden Estate, it contains many features including a fully working farm as it was in years gone by. It has a visitors centre and heritage centre with theatre, cinema and restaurant. The beautiful walks round the estate can be enjoyed by young and old alike. There are also picnic areas and play areas.
