A very beautiful beach, with lots to see and lots of terrain types. Sandy, or stoney beach depending on where you decide to settle. Beautiful views of the sea, cliff faces, and trawler boats. You may see Dolphins, I personally didn't. There are caves which can be entered, with caution, and depending on the tide. A river runs through behind the beach. There are ruins of an old fortress on the coastal strip, as well as castle ruins to the opposite end of the beach.

Lunan is a stunning large beach on the East Coast of Scotland in-between Arbroath and Montrose there is also amenities here

Amazing, Sea Sun and Sun. No better place for it. Seen jellyfish, dolphins, seals, crabs, and the sunrise....omg ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely stunning Bay. Could click away there all day . The views on a sunny day are fabulous . It's a must visit . ..

Amazing beach, quiet and great scenery

Beautiful beach even on a windy day! Plenty of parking and lovely sandy beach. Waves were strong and good for body boarding the day I visited with a friend! Lots of little jelly fish !

Beautiful beach No wheelchair accessible at the moment

This place is amazing. The walled gardens are incredible. The Tour Guide, Colin, was so entertaining and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend booking in advance to explore the house, which is by guided tour. There is ample parking. The cafe serves some excellent food and drink at very reasonable prices .

Had a wonderful short break in the North Stables apartment at House of Dunn. The accomodation was well furnished and lovely and warm and I'd recommend a stay there but only if you can handle the 20 stairs up to the apartment 🙂 While there we explored the wonderful gardens and managed to join a tour of the fantastic house. The guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable and managed to answer a variety of questions relating to the history of the property. Well worth a visit. There is also a cafe and they even catered for my gluten free requirements.

Fabulous property with excellent guides. Guided tours take about 1 hour and move you around very varied room and cover the Erskine family history from mid 1700’s. Lovely cafe for a really good soup and sandwich lunch

Fantastically fun and informative tour around the house. Arguably the best garden in Scotland and we've seen many! Well done to the garden team and our guide who's name in cannot remember.. But she was dressed all in black. And are these paintings Scotland 1st ever Drag Queens? Beware of the Doll!!

Very interesting historic house built in 1730's, by the Erskine family, this house only became a National Trust estate in the 1980's. It has a fabulous stock of documents and art works back to the 14th century. Plus a well preserved stock of historic household items. Some subtle and not so subtle evidence of Jacobite support from the first owner. One of the owners of the estate was the illegitimate daughter of King William IV and there are many royal connections apparent. We had a great guided tour which took about an hour. In addition there is a nice cafe and extensive grounds for scenic walks with views over the Montrose Basin. Don't trust Google Maps for directions - you'll end up on a farm track!

Lovely place. Beautiful NTS house and lovely grounds. Nice cafe and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The 3.30pm tourguide was very knowledgeable.

From the outside the house didn’t look very impressive but on the inside it was one of the best preserved houses I’ve ever seen. The tour guide Carol was very knowledgable and made it very interesting. Just left 45mins wasn’t sufficient:

Had a lovely visit here today, so much to see! Friendly knowledgeable volunteer in the Jet hanger. Well worth a visit, certainly a place I would revisit.

Great place for an afternoon out! Took 1x 10 year old boy and 1 x44 year old husband.. The staff were friendly and informative.. Came away having learned a great deal. £8 each for the adults and son was free. Toilet facilities were clean and smelled amazing! The place was spotless and pristine. The exhibits were truly amazing.. Definitely a place to add to your holiday itinerary...

We found this place while visiting the area. I am huge admirer of WW2, I am so thankful for all the men & women who laid their lives down in service to our country. This place is a great reminder of these who gave so much.

We had a great few hours here on a recent visit to the area. The volunteers are all true enthusiasts and very friendly and informative. Getting up close with the Tornadao was amazing. An added bonus (if you needed one) is that they're dog friendly. Highly reccomended.

It was really good value, very informative and after my 9 year old insisted she found history boring she had a great time

Excellent museum, loads of information and well presented. Great to see some rare museum types.

I really enjoyed every minute! Great museum! Well worth a visit!

Review by Toby the Fluffy Pumpkin King Greetings once again, dear readers. Sir Toby Fluffington III here — explorer of ruins, conqueror of mountains, and now, esteemed visitor of farms. My most recent royal expedition took me to a charming countryside estate, where my noble quest was simple: secure the finest pumpkin in all the land. Upon arrival, however, I discovered that the farm was hosting a makers market. Delightful chaos! The air was filled with the smells of baked goods, candles, and possibly three different kinds of cheese. Naturally, as an ambassador of charm and fluff, I was immediately surrounded by adoring subjects eager to bestow pats and compliments. I accepted each with grace and a wag of the tail, though I regret to report that in all the excitement, there was no time for royal portraits — the place was simply teeming with people. I perused the stalls, sniffing out local crafts and intriguing human trinkets. There were treats, soaps, knitted items, and mysterious shiny things I wasn’t allowed to lick. The humans chatted; I networked. It was, in short, a very successful diplomatic outing. But the true heart of my mission awaited: the pumpkin patch. Before proceeding, I made a quick stop to greet the chickens and ducks in their pen. We exchanged polite clucks and quacks — fine farm folk, if a bit gossipy — before I trotted off to complete my royal inspection. The field stretched before me, a sea of orange treasures basking under the autumn sky. I took my time, nose to the ground, surveying each pumpkin carefully like a gem appraiser. Too small. Too lumpy. Too pedestrian. And then… there it was. The one. Vast, round, and gloriously orange — a pumpkin fit for a king. With a decisive bark, I declared it mine. My loyal humans obeyed immediately, fetching a wheelbarrow for the royal transport. Naturally, I climbed aboard beside my chosen pumpkin, riding regally through the fields as the crisp wind ruffled my fur. Onlookers surely whispered, “There goes the Pumpkin King.” And so, dear subjects, my farm adventure concluded in triumph: new friends made, local wonders discovered, and the grandest pumpkin secured. Yours royally, Sir Toby Fluffington III Pumpkin King, Market Celebrity, Friend of Ducks and Chickens Alike

Stunning setting, super dog friendly and delicious food and drink. Every member of staff was lovely and helpful. Really can't recommend this place enough! Great place to bring kids too.

Beautiful fruit farm, farm shop, cafe, play area and of course, fruit picking, all at Charleton farm. The breakfast was delicious, lots of helpful staff, very varied menu, lovely deserts. Pick your own or buy from the shop. Very family/kid friendly and accessible.

Absolutely loved it! Plenty very delicious strawberries! but also so much fun for kids to do! Definitely will be back again, highly recommend to visit with family ❤️

Excellent Farm shop and cafe. Had breakfast in the outside covered areas. Great service, delicious food and we also bought food items from the farm shop too. They have their own frozen meat items packaged too. Coming back to pick our own fruit. What a wonderful place!

Always been a great visit. Our recent one was no exception. Great service and lovely food. More disabled parking than before and charging points for EVs.

Amazing food, beautifully presented. Never expected freshly picked strawberries and balsamic vinegar salad on a breakfast but will look for it from now on. Great service, prompt and friendly.

Have visited twice now. Once for coffee & cake and once on a Sunday for food. Cool place with a relaxed vibe and great views. Food was great too. All home made stuff. Dog friendly.

Amazing food at the Falls of Feugh Restaurant. I only went to have the highly recommended Cullen Skink, which is truly amazing. This then led onto the Venison Stew and the Strawberry and Lime Cheese Cake to finish. Summer body can wait until next summer. 😆

We had a beautiful lunch. The weather was sunny and cool, the flowers were blooming, the ambiance was relaxing and refined, service was wonderful, and lunch was delicious. I'm so glad we made a reservation here.

We chose the Falls of Feugh as our wedding venue and had the most wonderful day. The food was absolutely incredible—so many of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. The team were great and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. On the day itself, the staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. We’re so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Thank you for making our day so special.

Fantastic real Scottish dishes. The best Cullen skink I've ever had, followed by perfectly-cooked venison loin served with beef stovies potato and seasonal vegetables.

Impromptu visit on a Sunday to get out and enjoy the warm mild weather, we turnt up just before they closed but they were still very happy to serve us tea and cakes, a beautiful calm spot, well sheltered and scenic. The staffs were very friendly and the food was delicious. We had tea and a couple of tray bake slices and shared a scone, everything was lovely. We will be coming back for a proper meal here soon. Prices were very reasonable. Parking onsite or just across the road. Dog friendly outside.

Lovely staff. It was my birthday and they were very kind and made it very special. I also have a nut and peanut allergy and they were very reassuring. We didn’t have any cash and couldn’t tip with card machine unfortunately but we will remember next time! Recommend!

Had a great couple of hours looking around the museum. We especially enjoyed viewing the Top Gear and Guy Martin exhibitions - Guy's world record bicycle and the crazy (smashed up) go kart are particular highlights. There's a lovely cafe with a good selection of gluten free lunches. It's all dog friendly and the staff were super friendly, even giving the dogs a gravy bone on arrival. It's well worth the fee to enter.

This is a lovely old school museum. Incredibly friendly staff, plenty to see and the Top Gear exhibition is well worth the lengthy drive from almost anywhere else in the country! It's totally accessible and set in a lovely part of the world. Gift shop and cafe are great and well priced too.

My partner and I visited the Grampian transport museum and was thoroughly impressed by its excellent presentation. It's a must see attraction for any car enthusiast, Top Gear or Guy Martin fan. It almost goes without saying but it's the Top Gear cars that brought me to the museum. I had only found out about it just days prior to my trip when Drivetribe (a popular YouTube channel) had released a video on the indestructible Toyota Hilux that Grampian are now the proud owners of. However, it doesn't stop at just the Hilux, they own many of the iconic TV cars such as the Rambulance, the P45 and even the amphibious vehicles that the legendary trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May tried crossing the English Channel in. Explaining the history of each vehicle was a passionate volunteer Finlay McHardy who really made the day for us. Listening to him talk about the episodes each vehicle was featured in and sharing knowledge not found on the information boards. He even shared some details about what the future may hold for the vehicles... Meaning, if you're thinking they might try and start the Hilux. You may be right. The team at Grampian are sent on courses and trained to try and preserve the exhibits they have on display. The Hilux being no exception. If the pickup truck does indeed still run after time has been added to the concoction of death it's had to endure then it'll be because of the amazing team at Grampian and not the Smallest Cog as many suspect. Moving away from the Top Gear exhibit the museum also features trams, bikes in both push and motorised varieties as well as historic 'transportation of the future' such as the Sinclair C5 a vehicle that I believe was ahead of its time. The museum really is a treasure trove of information with the sheer diversity it has to offer and with plenty to read for those that wish to do so. It's very clear a lot of care has gone into making the exhibits as enjoyable and informative as possible. If all of this sounds tiring or perhaps you're not as passionate as a partner, child or any other acquaintance that you may be travelling with is. Then not to worry there is a lovely café located inside the museum called Motorbites which I feel is a worthy pun. It offers a great range of food and drink at what I found to be a very reasonable price, making it the perfect spot for lunch or just a break! The only negative I can draw from my visit is the behaviour of a school group. The children seemed to treat the museum like a playground, running around without much supervision or respect for the exhibits. While this didn't entirely detract from my experience, it was a minor disruption. However, this is not Grampian's fault and more so the lack of supervision from the responsible adults of the school trip. Overall I had a great time. So much so that if you look hard enough you may find my name, Finlay's name or many others dotted around the exhibits as the museum offer a vehicle adoption scheme for a one of fee of £25. This goes towards running the museum and the upkeep of the exhibits as Grampian is owned and operated by a registered charity of which I was more than happy to support. So on that bombshell, it's a 5/5 from me

As someone who has watched endless Topgear, it was great to see some of the special episode cars here. The staff were all friendly, small cafe on side. Would recommend. Slight inconvenience we turned up at 3:30pm and were told they shut at 4pm despite it saying 5pm on the website. Came back in the morning though

Delightful small museum which I’ve visited several times over the years but never taken my granddaughter so decided to go yesterday & support local. Some new items since last time there. Top gear really good as you remember it from seeing it on tv & good to see their creations in real life. Sadly what let’s the place down is the cafe as my granddaughter wanted the kids lunch box which is a sandwich, juice, etc. they couldn’t do a tuna sandwich at 2.12pm ?? However said we could have egg /bacon? how difficult would it have been to make a wee tuna sandwich ?? So we didn’t have lunch. I mentioned this at desk on way out as a suggestion to do sandwiches at any time of the day but he didn’t seem very interested to hear what I had to say. Outdoor play area is disappointing- not kept well not clean. They used to have a super bit for kids to go round small circuit in cars in the play area but that’s not there anymore. So all in all they happy to charge £27 for 2 adults 1 child but clearly doesn’t go into maintaining the kids area.

The visit was great, there was lots to see while the top gear exhibit was on, it was like meeting my childhood heros 🤣

Great museum with information boards across all different cars, bikes and carriages. The top gear cars are brilliant for anyone who is a fan.

The sun was splitting the sky today so we decided to visit Crathes Castle & Estate. The location was very busy as there were extra activities on in the grounds, bouncy things of several shapes and sizes, face painting, arts and crafts etc. It Is a self guided tour through the castle going up one set of very tight circular stairs and returning back down to ground level on a second set of stairs. You do need good mobility to manage these stairs. All the rooms were temperature and humidity controlled to try and preserve the fabrics and furnishings within each room. All the items were most interesting to see but not as old as those in Glamis castle. One advantage of this castle Is that you may take photographs except for one small area. After we completed the tour the heat from the sun guided us to the nearby ice cream vendor followed by a walk around the gardens. The gardens are large and are the home to many exotic plants, trees and shrubs. It Is a full time job for five volunteer gardeners to keep the gardens and grounds in such a wondrous condition. We finished off the day with a quick snack in the cafe. Soft drinks, cakes and cappuccino were enjoyed at a leisurely pace. A great day out, highly recommended.

What a great castle, so well kept and the staff are so full of knowledge The gardens are fabulous and I would suggest a while day, half day at least in the castle if you want to read all the details and do it justice, then a good couple of hours minimum in the gardens. Also great walks around the area also and. A lovely cafe.

This was an absolutely lovely location to come for a day out. The place was really busy due to a family fun day event being on, but there was still so much open space that you never felt hemmed in or on top of other visitors. The lady in the gift shop, and indeed all of the staff we encountered, were very friendly and happy to help us out. The only sad thing was that, whilst the garden was amazing, me and my wife couldn't go in together because we brought our dog. I feel that it should be the case that as long as your dog is kept on a short lead, is well behaved, and they are picked up after (which should be the case on the whole estate anyway) then they should be allowed in the gardens too. Overall a lovely site to visit.

i absolutely loved this castle ...the painted ceilings are just amazing ...Standing against a backdrop of rolling hills and set within its own glorious gardens, Crathes Castle provides a memorable experience with its towers, turrets and stories of its resident ghosts. King Robert the Bruce granted the lands of Leys to the Burnett family in 1323: the ancient Horn of Leys, which can be seen today in the Great Hall, marks his gift. Inside you’ll find a labyrinth of cultural history, from family portraits to fine antique furniture. The walled garden is a wonderful jungle of history, split into eight sections that encompass every green delight imaginable a sculpted topiary, soft herbaceous colours and modern exotic blooms. The massive yew hedges are thought to have been planted as early as 1702. Crathes Castle Estate was once part of the Royal Forest of Drum. Today there are a range of waymarked and clearly signposted trails. Look out for wildlife along the way – you may see red squirrels, woodpeckers and herons.

We are having a family holiday in Crathes. My wife and I have spent the last two days driving to here, so were pleased of a quiet day. After breakfast, we walked along the Deeside Way, a relatively flat walk from Aberdeen to Ballater, which was as far as the Deeside Railway went. Queen Victoria didn't want the railway to spoil the countryside around Balmoral. We soon came across Crathes signal box now a private residence and the remains if the platforms. Walking on, we came to a fork, with the Deeside Way going left over a pack horse bridge or right, under the road. Little did we realise what a difference taking the right fork would make. Continuing on our walk we came across the Milton of Crathes, a selection of independent shops. From here, we passed some railway carriages and still no signs directing us to the castle. Eventually, we came out beside the main road at Banchory, nearly four Mike's away. It was a very day and would get hotter as the day went on. We asked a local lad which way to the castle and he directed us up a road. It was not the main entrance but one used countries ago. It was a long uphill climb through the welcoming shade of huge trees of all descriptions. Eventually, we arrived at the castle and it looked very different to other castles we have visited. The castle is steeped in history, the one notable thing being it was lived in by the same family for centuries. We had a walk around inside, partly to cool off and partly to find out more about its history. We had a fascinating journey throughout most of the castle. The most fascinating were the painted ceilings, especially the Room of the Nine Nobles, based on great heroes from the past and the Muses' Room, with paintings of nine Muses and seven Virtues. From here, we walked to the cafe to get refreshments, but could believe the scores of wasps making most families lives a misery. In all my years, I have never so many wasps in one place. We drank up and departed for the welcoming shade of a hirse chestnut tree where we ate our lunch. From here, we walked down to the garden where a token allows families access to the gardens. The tokens can be collected from the main desk. The garden is a place of wonder, as with every turn, you see something different and interesting. You can see the castle from different angles which is a treat. Considering the hot sommer we are experiencing, the gardeners have produced a magnificent show for everyone. It seemed every colour was on view, depending on the flowers and which garden beds we were at. We even passed a couple getting married in a centre piece of the garden. We were intrigued by two large bushes close together at the side nearest the castle. It was while we were sat in the gsrden entrance building that we found the answer. The trees were planted in the 1700, and clipped in what we would describe as small urns. (They obviously had some meaning!!) Today, one is an egg sitting on a eggcup and the other is waiting for an egg. We much prefer the latter version. From here, we walked down the main path, the white trail, to the main entrance , stopping to look at the Highland cattle. We came across a bridge which I guess would have been part of the old road. Underneath, water from the large pond flowed down to the river. We followed a path and lo and behold came out at the road bridge we saw earlier on. We were no walking home knowing we didn't have as long a walk as this morning. By now, the heat was building, so a shorter walk was very welcome. Crathes Castle is an interesting place to visit, with lots of space to run around. There is a children's play area and well behaved dogs are welcomed. Crathes Castle has a cafe catering for all tastes and a great gift shop, selling a range of gifts and food.

We didn't go to the castle but WHAT a garden! We went twice and even in the space of 10 days there were different things to see. Absolute must for garden enthusiasts, whether you enjoy the formal topiary or the amazing themed borders. We chatted for a long time with the volunteers, who were very informative. Will happily come back again and again.

Crathes is my favourite castle in the Shire. There are so many woodland trails as well as the incredible walled garden and an atmospheric cafe. The gardens-only tickets cost £7.50 per person, plus £5 for all day parking. The gardens aren't dog friendly, but the rest of the estate is.

Fantastic views all around and thousands of sea birds. Nice easy walks, just be careful especially if you have kids with you as the cliffs are very high. We went looking for puffins and managed to spot the one only in a mass of other birds😂. A bird watches paradise for sure! The parking is very limited with only about 12 spaces but cars arrive and leave pretty regularly so be patient and you will get a space.

It is a beautiful location with numerous cliffs and abundant wildlife. We were fortunate enough to observe hares, birds, and other creatures. However, the cliffs can be hazardous, so please exercise caution and maintain a safe distance.

Simply breathtaking! I've never seen so many birds before, and I'm a keen birdwatcher. There were thousands of razorbills, guillemots, and black legged kittiwakes on the cliffs. You need a head for hights to visit here, though. My daughter had to turn back as it was too scary for her. I would also recommend keeping children very close.

We visited late in the year last year and although the walk was stunning with the dramatic coastal views we were keen to return to see some puffins. Returned again in June and today we saw around 10 puffins among the other sea birds. A really beautiful walk.

It was a warm, sunny day and we would have been satisfied with the clifftop walk, sea views and the great variety of seabirds alone. But we got to see a pod of dolphins up close, backflipping and chasing the swimming birds and at least 5 puffins pretty close to the start of the puffin trail! It was an incredible afternoon!

Great place to visit. Beautiful cliffs, perfect for birds watchers. Also very often puffins can be seen. We missed them though.

Really fantastic!! It's one of the main locations in all of Britain to observe (see) seagulls and multiple other birds nesting and mating. By the thousands. It's very powerful. There's are also occasionally rabbits and other animals. The location is quite remote, but not n my mind quite worth visiting. While there, you should visit Dunnattar Castle a bit to the North. Enjoy:)

This is a must see Castle if your in the area. Well maintained by the staff that is friendly and informative. Be mindful that if your mobility is limited that there are several areas of stairs and steps that are irregular and steep. There are also some cobble stone walk ways that might be difficult for some. Loved our visit here and the views are spectacular.

This place is beautiful. I did not go inside as had other prior commitments. If you go give yourself several hours to explore as wonderful trails on cliffs and several stairs to get to castle. A must see if in Scotland!!

Dunnottar Castle is honestly one of the most breathtaking places in Scotland. Perched high on the cliffs above the North Sea, it feels like stepping straight into history. The ruins are full of atmosphere, and the views from every angle are just stunning. The walk down and back up can be a bit steep, but totally worth it for the experience. It’s usually peaceful early in the morning, and watching the waves crash below the castle walls is something you’ll never forget. A must-visit near Stonehaven!

An impressive place. Unfortunately, in winter the castle is only open from 10:00 to 15:00. But even from the outside the surrounding landscapes and the castle itself look fantastic. There is a waterfall and caves nearby. On the coast, if you are lucky you can see seals. Although we were not lucky. I recommend taking the coastal path to the nearest town Stonehaven. You will get an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful castle ruins overlooking the sea! The walk down to the castle is easy however there are quite a few stairs leading up to the entrance. Ticketing was easy and clear directions on the route you should take to see everything. We also hiked along the beach and took a small trail which wrapped back around to the castle. Lovely shots along the way.

Very well kept castle and quite a lot to see and on a large site. A lot bigger than expected with lots to read and some great history and story’s to catch up on. Could be a bit exposed on a wet day. Toilets on site and well worth the £13 entrance fee. Well worth a visit.

Magical place with amazing views. If you like ruins and nature this is the right place to visit. Loved everything. It felt like a Game of Thrones setting.

Duthie Park Winter Gardens is such a unique and beautiful spot for a wedding! Lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and the most gorgeous natural light—it’s like stepping into a little tropical paradise in the heart of Aberdeen. The atmosphere is so relaxed and romantic, making it the perfect backdrop for capturing love stories. Easily one of my favourite spots to photograph, and it never disappoints!

Peaceful and Beautiful Family Spot Duthie Park is a charming green oasis in Aberdeen—immaculately kept, with lovely flower beds, wide lawns, and serene pathways. The highlight is the breathtaking David Welch Winter Gardens, perfect for a nature escape. Great for family strolls, picnics, or quiet relaxation. Free to visit and easily accessible—highly recommended!

I have never been to Duthie Park despite going to school in Bridge of Don and visiting family in the city over the years. I forgot there is a winter garden and I was impressed by how lovely it was. Enjoyed the cafe too - great coffee and lovely cakes

I absolutely loved the Winter Garden on a cold and grey November Saturday morning. Sadly the talking Cactus had a weekend off but this didn't dull the fun for my 2 young grand daughters. Just a lovely peaceful place to sit in.

Good place to walk, jogging, relax, play arrears, cycling etc etc… Also specially the “Temperature House” bring a huge value the place.

Was great, I was up there when doing the kilt walk an was really nice despite the heavy rain had lovely day an beautiful sites an things to do an close to shops also, ado recommend going if get the chance people were really warm an friendly

Amazingly calm and has it's own charm specially the covered winter garden in it. Feel like lost in the warmth of the nature. Be there with kids, dogs, friends or alone... doesn't matter. It's a lovely place to be. Recommended. Special note - if you aren't aware of it's history then do find out while you are there. 😊🙏🏻👍🏻 ❤️

Beautiful indoor gardens – perfect all year round. A stunning collection of tropical, arid, and exotic plants in a peaceful glasshouse setting. Well-maintained, with themed areas like the cactus house and Japanese garden. Great place to relax, take photos, or explore with family. Free entry and located within Duthie Park – a true gem in Aberdeen.

This stunning winter garden is located inside Duthie Park. An assortment of glasshouses display superb botanical examples from a diverse range of environments, from arid to tropical, and most continents. Plants are of the most pristine quality and housed in immaculate conditions. Excellent place and well worth a visit. Highly recommended. 👍👍👍

Cool place especially for those who are more interested in plants and stuff. The kind of 'did you know' plates were fun! The only thing i can have a little but is that not all of the plants are taken care of the way they should be

A must visit place if you like conservatories and flora fauna varieties. Very well kept and maintained place with great number of plant species. I was amazed to see the quality of the plants in a cold climate like Scotland has. Beautiful flowers and some really oddball plants and trees. Someone has seriously put aome good thought into it and the staff seems to maintain it well too. No entry fee, but it’s run on donations. Takes about an hour to get through it. Will surely visit again!

I love the botanical gardens in Aberdeen - one of my favourite places to visit! I would really recommend to anyone who is here - even for a few days. To top it off, it's also completely free and family-friendly. Seriously, one of my favourite botanical garden in Scotland. The cacti area is a must see - it always amazes guests. The adjacent cafe is also quite cute and has good sweets/dessert. I think it would make a great place for a first date!

Wow. What an amazing winter wonderland. Sharing with you all some amazing pics which I took yesterday....

Absolutely fabulous place to visit. Well worth a donation to keep it open to the public. Immaculately kept plants that were interesting to see and well labelled. The cafe was great to visit too with a great vegan cake selection for people with intollerances.

The theatre was easy to get into to, button operated door. The only issue I encountered was the disabled toilet in the foyer corridor was very hard to get into. It was a narrow corridor and the door opened out into the corridor. I had to wheel past the door turn face on open pull the door and wheel backwards to pull door back against the wall. As there wasn't enough room to open door and stay facing the opening then wheel in while pulling the door from fully against the wall to closed. Then do the same to get out, while trying not to hit other patrons. Another wheelchair user had to drive about a meter forward so I could open the door fully to get out, they then had to reverse into the toilet as had to room to turn around. The toilet right beside the seats was fantastic, very spacious and room to maneuver the door. The staff were brilliant at helping me find my space and offering assistance with doors and where things were. My seat had an amazing view, was on a slightly raised platform so I could see above everyone's heads. If you're going to see the lion the witch and the wardrobe, you will love it. Would recommend this theatre for wheelchair users, very accesible. Jut use the toilet near the seats for easier use.

Great evening out seeing Six. Sat in the upper circle where we had a good view of the stage. Leg room was okay, seat cushions very comfortable. Felt fine for an 80 minute single act show. Everyone friendly and helpful.

We had seats up in the balcony it’s a bit of a climb although there is a lift that takes you half way but if your mobility is not great I’d recommend seats lower down. Despite the climb the view was good and certainly didn’t spoil the show. Absolutely fantastic and will definitely be back for more shows in the future.

Went to see "book of mormon" fantastic and we had a very enjoyable time. Staff friendly and helpful.

A beautiful building, lovely helpful staff, comfortable seating amd a huge variety of shows to pick and choose from. Excellent venue.

Grand theatre built in 1906. Staff were helpful and friendly. The show we saw was spectacular (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). Very beautiful and well maintained. A jewel in Aberdeen!

A beautiful building inside and out (full of history). The architecture is exquisite and very beautiful (inside and outside). They hold wonderful plays and musicals here as they are filled with powerful performances from everyone. The previous musical I just saw was "Bat Out of Hell." It was amazing with a beautiful script (story) with wonderful Meatloaf songs ( brings back happy memories to me with my Nan). The cast had powerful voices as they really pulled it off. I would 100% see this musical again as it was my first time seeing this musical. The staff at His Majesty's were very friendly and helpful when I asked them where the terrace is so I could collect my pre - ordered drinks in intermission (all you have to do is go to the bar before your show starts and pre-order your drinks there, it will automatically go to the terrace. It saves having to join a queue). They even pointed out where the terrace was, which was a big help.

I really enjoyed my visit to the museum. It was a great way to learn about not only maritime facts such as oil rigs and ships but also Aberdeen history. All the displays were done with great care and the exhibitions were very informative. The view to the port was also splendid and the gift shop selection was nice.

An excellent experience. An easy walk from the Railway Station. This museum is free, but you can donate by card or cash. Very friendly staff and an amazing space over five floors and three buildings. The museum features the maritime history of the area as well as the oil and gas industry. It also features exhibits on occasion. A reasonably priced gift shop featuring local souvenirs. I would visit here if you have an interest in maritime history, but is interesting for those who aren't.

Lovely museum, lovely architecture. The cherry on the cake was the free guided tour tough, offered by knowledgeable and utmost kind Robert who made it special by picking a particular parts and making his lecture around these. Learned a lot and in a very friendly atmosphere, many thanks!!

A visit worth taking while in Aberdeen (or if residing here). Deployed in 4 floors, illustrates the history of Aberdeen shipbuilding and UK offshore drilling off Scotland coast. The abundance of wood all around creates a really cozy environment. Allow >1 hour to tour as it’s really interesting.

Can’t believe this amazing place is free! 😍 I love museums...they always take us back in time and make us feel part of history. The displays, ship models, and harbour views here were just beautiful. 🌊⚓️ The Aberdeen Maritime Museum, located on Shiprow overlooking the harbour, is one of the city’s most fascinating free attractions. It’s housed in a blend of historic and modern buildings, including Provost Ross’s House, which dates back to 1593. The museum beautifully showcases Aberdeen’s deep connection with the sea — from shipbuilding and fishing to the modern North Sea oil and gas industry. One of its main highlights is the impressive 9-metre model of the Murchison oil platform, along with intricate ship models, artefacts, and interactive displays spread across four floors. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the harbour from the upper galleries, making it a perfect mix of history, culture, and coastal charm. 🌊⚓️

Lovely area, a good way to undertake the deep history of Aberdeen trading and oil exploration, week preserved pieces of history, kept in good viewing condition, a good place for visitors on sightseeing and exploratory training.

I haven’t been here since I was a kid. Excellent displays presented very well in a fantastic building. Very informative and paints a great picture of Aberdeen’s fascinating fishing and oil industry past. What a way to spend a few hours. I especially loved the gigantic Murchison platform which fills several floors of the building, the working lighthouse mechanism and the models of boats. The view across the harbour is phenomenal!!

Mini golf- spacious outdoor area. Needs a bit of a refreshment. The surface has a lot of holes and bumpy bits. Some have no marks of where to start. Karting- they’re extremely slow. We had fun though. Indoor games- nice variety of games and tickets that can be exchanged for prices. Bumper cars were the highlight for my nephew. We went back several times. Francis was very friendly and ensured we had a pleasant experience.

It's good but when you buy your pass you can only pick 1 off the good things like the race cars or laser quest. I ended up spending an extra £40 for my boys to go to laser quest and bowling. It's good but prepare to spend extra money there the pass is good but you still need money to go on some things. Food was ok but bought the boys coke zero it was £2 each for a small glass like 3 moth fulls.

Cute a nice amusement park, got bowling,mini golf, pool tables ,lazer-tag, go-carts. Many food options and a bar. Its good to check for the bundles , cause you can get good prices if you are planning to spend a long day there trying everything.

We really enjoyed ourselves today. My Son's first time and he loved every minute of it. The park was clean and tidy with very welcoming staff, especially the gentleman operating the Ferris wheel and the lady operating the waltzers. We had a good laugh with them both and they made us feel most welcome. Will definitely be back, five stars!!

We had a great time at Codona’s Amusement Park recently. Siddharth at the park was very helpful and made sure our kids enjoyed all the rides. Thank you, Siddharth, for your help! We had a wonderful experience overall.

The outdoor attractions are enjoyable for both children and parents; however, the indoor area consists almost entirely of a casino. Apart from a few games designed for children, the majority of the machines are intended for gambling. This environment exposes children to gambling activities at an early age, potentially normalizing such behavior for the future.

Not what it use to be. Gone are the exciting rides, killer arcades and Rambo land. In with the gambling machines, painfully safe rides and soft play areas. Definitely for a modern "smart phone" society with a small attention span.

I had the pleasure of visiting Glen Garioch Distillery after a quick stay at Meldrum House. Initially, I thought this was just a convenient visit but it turned out to be so much more. Everyone here was super welcoming and accommodating. Even though I didn't had time for a tour, I was able to bottle my own Sherry Butt 2198! Didn't get her name but kudos to the wonderful lady who guided me the bottling!

Me and my boyfriend are from Argentina. We did the whisky tour few days ago. Hazel was out tour guide. The whole experience was amazing, and Hazel was very clear in her explanations (which was very important for us since we are foreigners) and also very very kind. She didn't do everything on a rush and took her time to explain everything very clearly and in detail. The rest of the staff was also very thoughtful and kind. The distillery is very beautiful and the whisky is excellent! Great experience for us in Glen Garioch.

We absolutely loved our tour at Glen Garioch Distillery! It was such an amazing experience. Our guide, Eddie, explained everything so clearly and with great enthusiasm. We learned a lot and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this tour – we left truly impressed and delighted!

BWhat an experience! One of my best tours in a distillery ! Eddie was super nice, very engaging and so charismatic ! I definitely would go back but this time in winter when they are actually producing this beautiful and rich single malt. ❤️ and the best part is that you get to taste 3 samples! Don’t worry if you are driving or not drinking that day, you can let them know and they will give you a “to go” dose. ☺️

Great tour and delicious whisky. Highlight is that they do their own malting - almost no one else does that! Good access to several areas and nice tasting at the end

Great Tour! Thx to J(G)ill. Great Experience and good prize for Sample! We come back! More Bourbon Cask please! Thx For all

Stuart was excellent, explained the processes and history with charm and a great sense of humor whilst being full of facts and knowledge along the way. Great experience and a warm staff throughout. Recommend the Warehouse 4 Experience.

Wonderful Castle! Very unique castle in comparison to many we had toured. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The walled garden was enjoyable to walk thru despite the rain. The fruit we purchased in the garden hut was very delicious after our tea!

Great time had, while they went inside for the guided tour, myself and the dog enjoyed the outdoors. The guided tour took about 2 hours, while we sat outdoors on picnic benches at the cafe. They loved the tour and the guide knew her stuff. Very impressive castle inside and out. Disabled parking right at entrance or your in the main car park 5-10 mins walk down a hill

I wasn't sure about our tour guide at first, honestly. But wow, they were amazing! The whole tour was hilarious thanks to their sarcastic and charming personality. Definitely made the experience 100% better. Beautiful castle inside and out.

Amazing place. Great tour of the castle. Tours run every 45mins. Nice cafe and shop. The gardens are nice to walk around.

What a beautiful castle! And the guided tour was amazing! It was totally worth it and I definitely recommend a visit!

Great place to visit you can only go round the inside of the castle as part of a guided tour witch we didn't mind because you get to understand the history of the place instead of just walking around looking at things our guide was very knowledgeable and great at telling us all about the castle through the years I definitely recommend a visit

Beautiful grounds to walk around. The tours are guided but worth it as it was very informative. Would recommend a visit.

Members of NTS and first visit for a long time. Great for a walkabout and see how it's done! Huge variety of apple, pear and plum trees in their own special place which is tranquil and serene. Met a friendly black cat who was meandering through the gardens 😎. Lunch at the café, with very attentive staff and decent quality food. Also a farm museum with a Fordson tractor which took me back a few years.

Beautiful gardens. Really look great just now. Well worth a visit. Also had a cuppa in the tearoom. Note that the counter where you order is in a different room so if you go straight into the tea room you may have a wait until someone explains the system.

Nice cafe at entrance, plenty of parking, worth a visit if your a National Trust member, lovely walk round very well kept gardens

Would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful garden in Aberdeenshire. There is also a museum highlighting farming traditions and equipment from the 'olden days'.

Lovely staff and beautiful grounds. There’s a quaint little cafe and a small outside eating area. The flowers were beautiful and so colourful. We used Google lens to find out some of the names. There’s a hidden orchard and the very bottoms of the grounds we found by accident with strawberries rasps, apples, pears, cherries etc growing. There’s also an area with herbs etc growing. Theres a small picnic area beside the carpark and walks outwith the main grounds.

From start to finish, everything was cool, nice, clean, cool and the place was very comfortable and I wanted to come back to this place, I was confused about which side to take photos from because I was confused, the kids were also happy

A fabulous garden to visit it belongs to the Scottish national trust but if you got a English national trust card you can get in free plus free parking. There a shop and cafetera.

Nice cafe, lovely scones. Gorgeous grounds and gardens and lots of different woodland walks, walk-around the lake etc. Good variety of birds andv wildlife. Tours around the House are guided so held at certain times each day. Limited guides on the day I visited so only every two hours. Will definitely return for a tour at a later date.

Haddo House is a stunning stately home in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, offering a blend of history, elegance, and natural beauty. Managed by the National Trust for Scotland, this late Victorian mansion is known for its fine furniture, paintings, and beautifully maintained gardens. Beyond the house itself, the Haddo Country Park offers scenic walks, lakes, and monuments, making it a perfect destination for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike as well as great photography locations ..

One of our family's favourite places for a day out - beautiful scenery, sheltered walks, ducks, geese, and fab play parks. Top notch

Very pretty house. Excellent tour guide who was super enthusiastic. I really enjoyed learning about its history and that of the family who occupied it for so many years. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

Haddo House is a wonderful place to visit. The house and grounds are beautiful, and full of history. Our tour guide, Andrew, was excellent — very knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the stories of the house to life with humour and enthusiasm. He made the tour both interesting and fun. Highly recommend a visit!

An excellent location in lovely grounds. The house is interesting, and our guide was very well informed on its history. The cafe was welcoming and the scones were fresh.

An absolutely beautiful setting. Haddo House has plenty to offer, from weddings to family walks, from bike rides to playing in the park. The chapel is lovely. The grounds are stunning. The pathways are better than expected. A great place to visit, make sure you've got plenty of storage because you'll take loads of pictures!

What a difference a few years make, this cafe used to be a wreck covered in graffiti.. Excellent service, coffee, toilets immaculate.... This place is only going to get better (& busier my only bug bear!!!) when safe to swim in again .. Great job!

A stunning place. Friends of Tarlair have done a fab job on the restoration. I was lucky enough to visit the café on opening day, and it was a fab experience overall. It was lovely to see the café so full on its first day, and the volunteers did an incredible job, and were warm, kind and attentive. The menu had a good range of choices for a quick lunch or an afternoon treat, and the food was just lovely!! I had a cheese and ham toastie and Cullen Skink (a locally loved dish, from nearby Cullen, it's a must try if you're in the area!!), both were lovely and the Cullen Skink is some of the best I've had. The café area is a spacious and well-lit area, it's clean and decorated beautifully. There's a lovely area outside for a walk afterwards - a path which takes you up to the Royal Tarlair Golf club, and the views are stunning. Well done to all involved!!

It was a beautiful location but the swimming area was closed and looked quite dirty when we visited.

Amazing renovation work, which is still ongoing. Volunteers are doing a great job. Cafe is fantastic and toilets are spotless.

I love the restoration of the lido and cafe and seeing all the old photos of the swimming pool from back in the day. Nice food and coffee and not too expensive.

No swimming yet.... Still closed bit looks amazing once back to its former glory will return for the day. Great job well done

A lovely support and I really hope the ‘Friends’ are successful with their fundraising. The lido and pools will be fabulous when restored. I’m the meantime grab a coffee and cake from the volunteer run cafe and help with the fundraising effort.

We’d been looking forward to visiting BrewDog for a long time and it was absolutely worth the wait! From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we felt like kids in a candy store. The design is incredible, with attention to every little detail. Our waitress Sammy was so lovely ,she took the time to explain all the different beers with such patience and kindness. Later, we joined the brewery tour led by Lisa, who was simply amazing ,funny, cheerful and full of energy. She really made the whole experience even more enjoyable! We’ve been to quite a few breweries around the world, but this one was by far the most fun and unique. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

Best burger ever? Might just be! Now we are back in Aberdeenshire, we stopped by BrewDog DogTap and tried the ETFB burger — honestly, incredible. Double smashed patties, bacon, cheese, jammy onions, candied jalapeños… every bite was unreal. So much flavour and just the right mix of sweet, spicy, and crispy. This for us was one of the best burgers we have tasted, and we have had many around the globe. Paired it with a pint of Punk IPA and it was perfect. The waitress suggested some beers for my wife and offered tasters to help her choose. Much better than expected (even though I’ve just been in the Dubai venue). If you like a big, messy, proper burger — this one’s worth the trip!

Visited today all the way from Brisbane Australia where we have had the great experience for flavour before. Staff were very polite and accommodating, such a huuuge venue food was amazing totally recommended.

We came for the brewery tour and we had a wonderful time with Lisa who takes us around the different parts of the brewery and tell us a lot of enjoyable stories along the way. She gives us interesting facts and stories about the brewery from its beginning to now. It's was a really great moment with nice beers (yes, plural) to enjoy during the visit. We also stayed for lunch and the burger and breakfast were great!

At a conference in Aberdeen. Wanted some fresh air so went to see the seals at nearby beach. Realised this was nearby. Friendly service, speedy great Mexican burger and Punk discount. Didn't fell awkward eating on my own at all.

There was a lot of gluten free options to choose from. Food was very good. All of the staff were friendly and approachable. I want to give a particular mention to our server (Meghan). She had great customer service skills. Nothing was too much trouble for her.. it’s good to experience great customer service as it can be a rarity in this day and age.

Sarah our server was so helpful and gave us good info on the menu …… top class

Dramatic course played through, over and around the dunes. Not sure about the dog leg par 3 on the back 9, but the course lived upto expectations. Immense !!

Cruden Bay is a course that captures the soul of Scottish links golf. Set against a backdrop of dunes, cliffs, and the North Sea, it's visually stunning and architecturally fascinating. The routing is quirky in the best way—blind shots, dramatic elevation changes, and holes that feel like no others in the world. The front nine weaves through dunes with character and charm, while the back nine opens up to sweeping coastal views and bold design. Highlights include the short par-4 14th and the rollercoaster par-3 15th. It's not a long course by modern standards, but it challenges every club in your bag and every bit of imagination you have. Cruden Bay is golf as it once was—raw, natural, emotional. It's the kind of course that makes you smile, even when you’re struggling with your game. A truly unforgettable walk and one of the most character-rich rounds you can play in Scotland.

Great Scottish links course, the staff is very friendly and the caddy we had was very good and knowledgeable of the course. The last few holes are a little bit tricky, but overall the course is in great shape and there are some great views from the course. This course is a great one for your bucket list! ⛳️😎

What. A. Course! Difficult to find any negatives. Friendly staff, reasonable compared to other quality courses in the area, difficult but fun, immaculate with insane views. If I was religious, this is what heaven would look like……

This is one of the best courses I have ever played. It's a real challenge but out of this world. Food was really very good. Staff are some of the friendliest people I have come across. The whole experience was top notch. I will definitely be back.

Outstanding, amazing views, great course, so much fun. A must for anyone doing an east coast Scotland golf trip.

Cruden Bay should be on every golfer's bucket list. From the first sight past the clubhouse to the excellent tees, fairways and greens and views from the tees, it's just sublime (maybe less so if the weather is unkind 🙂). The clubhouse is top-notch too, lovely staff and great food! 🤔 I need to visit more often.

Lovely clifftop walks, as long as you're careful. A couple of paths to choose, one of which is a bit trickier underfoot than the other. Great seabird nesting place between March and the end of July. Puffins in burrows towards the tops of the cliffs. Always a delight. There is a big car park and easy access with just a short walk to the first decent views of the cliffs, and you can walk for much longer if you wish.

Really cool to be able to walk out onto the points… there’s quite a few and the circuit loops around through a tunnel… instead of tracking back the way we came we just walked along the road to make it back to the car. Worth the visit! Views 10/10

Stunning. My husband is a bit scared of heights so we didn't go to far along the path as it does get close to the edge but it was amazing views! The water was so green. Definitely stay on the path like the signs say!! But 100% worth a look.

Came all the way from Edinburgh and it was absolutely worth it. The area isn’t crowded, which made the experience even more special — just beautiful, peaceful scenery all around. If you’re here to see puffins (and you should be!), make sure to take the path to the right and keep following it along the cliffs. You’ll eventually reach a spot where you can see tons of puffins nesting and flying — it’s magical. For those taking the bus back to Aberdeen: the stop is on the opposite side of where you get dropped off. Make sure to wave at the driver when the bus comes. Highly recommend the trip — nature, birds, and a little adventure all rolled into one.

A stunningly beautiful place! I don’t have a car, so I took the X63 Stagecoach bus from Aberdeen Erroll Street, and it dropped me off right at the Bullers of Buchan car park, super convenient! The walking trail was really fun, and one would feel like stopping at every other step just to admire the beauty around. The sunny weather made the whole trip more enjoyable. I was lucky enough to spot some puffins—though there were way fewer of them compared to the razorbills and kittiwakes around. Also from there, it’s just about a 20-minute walk to New Slains Castle, and then just a few minutes more to Cruden Bay. I ended up covering the whole area on foot, and it wasn’t tiring at all. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Very nice place for a walk with stunning views over the cliffs and coast side. Highly recommended. There is free parking on the side with plenty of spaces.

Absolutely stunning! I highly recommend the hike from here to Cruden Bay (although heads up that there are no bathrooms in between whatsoever). You can take the 61 or X63 Stagecoach buses to and from Aberdeen, which run quite regularly. We also stopped to see Slains Castle, but it is very decrepit, there is a lot of garbage around, and no plaques with info about its history.

Brilliant experience. Well recommend to visit. Staff were so helpful and amazing. There was no problem at all to leave my stuff save with them. Lots to see and learn. I’ve just went myself with audio headset and enjoyed everything. There is so much to see, but I’ll not be spoiling it with photos. Thank you !

A really great museum with helpful and friendly staff. The audio tour was interesting and kept my kids, aged 7, entertained for about an hour and a half. They have short attention spans and get fed up easily, so this was a good achievement!

This was a surprisingly fantastic venue to visit for all ages of the party from 7 years old to 67 years! You can go at your own pace, the route is clearly marked out and the extra kids puzzle kit kept them engaged with their surroundings. Definitely recommended as an easy way to kill a few hours with the family.

Very interesting visit. Audio guided tour gave insight as to how prisoners were treated and the way they were treated. The cells were spartan to sat the least, allied to a very tough regime I felt claustrophobic after the 90 minutes tour!

What a unique museum to visit with fantastic staff. David,our guide, was a prison guard a few years after the infamous riot. His dry humour and Doric twang was great. Seeing the prison was such an interesting experience, I am really glad I went along. You can choose to have a tour with a guide which is slightly more expensive or an audio tour. I would recommend paying for the guide as they will be able to answer your questions about daily life within the small group they take around. After they have given you the tour you are allowed to explore the prison yourself after being left at the Cafe at the end. I would leave yourself some time after the tour to go around and take it all in. There are a lot of newspaper cuttings and various things the prisoners and guards have put together after doing further research of the prison's history. If you are in Aberdeenshire go and see it, not many other places like it.

Loved it... Have been before but its really great to go and look around so did the tour with some italian friends had a really nice day really pleasant and friendly staff too 😊 great 👍

Great guided tour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable (great being toured by someone who worked there when it was in use as a prison). Really educational and fascinating! Entrance toilets were lovely and clean and the staff were all really friendly and helpful! Highly recommend visiting here as a tourist or as a local!

It has a stunning golden sand, perfect for peaceful strolls or family outings. Its scenic beauty and proximity to the iconic Kinnaird Head Lighthouse make it a must-visit destination.

Literally the coolest beach I have ever been to and thats saying a lot because I have been to Hawaii! The day was perfect with sun shining and the sand was really fun! I loved the grassy hills and found the expirience to be very enjoyable! Must recommend!

This beach is a fantastic beach, very very clean & plenty of sand dunes to climb up & take in the very overlooking the town, golf course, and the North Sea coastline it sits on. It's not too far away from the town centre, and there's a wonderful cafe along the esplanade. So I'd highly recommend coming here on a clear weekend as this beach is really good.

Beautiful beach we and the grandchildren loved our time up there. ❤️

Not far from the main fishing docks Signposted Esplanade beach Lovely views and very pleasant in the sunshine. Good clean loos on the esplanade Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the world go by

Living in the north east we have become immune to how lucky we are to having so many wonderful beaches on our doorstep and this is one of the best , miles of golden sand , huge dunes and great waves with plenty of parking and cafes in the town , definitely one of our favourites

The beach of my life! Walked it every day in childhood. Revisited many many years later. It’s still wonderful. Miles of golden sands, dunes and brilliant waves. Good cafe, changing rooms, clean toilets and a surfboard school! Magic.

Best carvery ever had. Fast friendly service, great price. 110% recommend anyone to have a carvery here!!!

Great venue for a children's party. We've been here lots of times and love it. The hall is really clean and looks very plush with velvet drapes and modern furniture. The hall is really large and could hold 60 children fine for party games. It's ceiling is high enough for our bouncy castle and there's a useful ramp access to the back of the hall.

Phenomenal local community centre Recently had a wonderful renovations done Decor is so modern and stylish Open to the public Cafe with amazing coffee and seating area Great for meets, dates or catch ups Resturants opens in the evening and food looks great Large car park Other option like bowlers club and youth drama art club - which are payable memberships

One of the saddest wee towns I’ve ever been in

Had a great time here for my Dads 88th birthday. The man on the reception was a lovely man who was happy to help with our celebrations.

Great place to relax with a nice bar and restaurant and they also have a great room for playing pool and snooker as well as a ten pin bowling alley.

Party dance in the main hall. Great dance floor. Clean and nicely appointed. Only negative was that it became very warm later on. No one was available who could switch on the air conditioning. The food was good, very reasonably priced and well served.

This museum has a fantastic collection of lighthouse lenses and is filled with all sorts of information. Included with your admission is a guided tour of the Kinnaird Head Lighthouse. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the view from the top is great. We even got to see the mechanism that turns the light on action. This museum was a highlight of our trip.

I visited the museum with my wife a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. There is so much to see in the museum and whether you're into lighthouses or not, you'll definitely find it interesting! The tour is a must, our guide Sam was brilliant, made everyone feel welcome, encouraged questions and really knew about the lighthouse and it's history! I'm sure we'll be back again one day :)

This museum was amazing. The best part was the guided tour inside the lighthouse itself. Thanks to the guide’s explanation, you learn a lot of interesting information. Seeing how the lighthouse works with your own eyes fascinated even our children. We definitely recommend a visit.

Great museum. Paid for tour of lighthouse which was very imfomative and you were able to climb the stairs and see the light turning. Did not buy tickets in advance and luckily turned up just in time for a tour starting.

I did not go to the museum as it was shut However I parked the car and went a wee wonder Amazing views and great to see the light house Spectacular views along the cliffs which you can walk Bench area for enjoying the views Larger car park

Amazing! Michael gave us the tour of the lighthouse itself, fascinating and joyful experience throughout. Absolute must do for anyone that ever wondered what goes on inside a lighthouse, absolutely brilliant couple of hours spent here

It was an amazing visit, the tour was really interesting and it's amazing to see how a castle got to be a lighthouse. Our tour guide was incredibly nice and she knew a lot about the lighthouse, it's history and overall lighthouses.
