Cove Bay

Reviewed By Mayorofastley123

Lovely walk from hopeman East beach, be extra careful at one point About 20 minutes in we came to a dead end with a shear drop above the cove , don’t let the kids run a head or the dogs . There is a fork in the path take the right hand side to avoid the cliff edge. Don’t let this put you off just worth knowing , the cave and cove is a great little hidden gem , rocks to climb , caves to explore all great outdoor fun and free entertainment for all ages. We ranged from age 60 down to age 3 and really enjoyed the walk . We built up an appetite and walked back to hopeman west beach for lunch , we spent a few hours in the fresh air which was just beautiful.

Winding Walks

Reviewed By 721scotia - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Open once again after lockdown. The car park was nearly full, with walkers and cyclists. £1 to park here. Beautiful walks, fresh air and a good panoramic view of northern Scotland in the distance from the memorial stone pyramid. 1.5 hrs walking was just right for us following one of the marked routes.

After visiting Cawdor Castle, it was hard to believe we would find another so beautifully decorated, well-maintained, and with such an interesting family history. We found it at Ballindalloch! Arriving early, we had a very warm greeting by the man at the gatehouse, followed by an equally enthusiastic gentleman in the reception area of the Castle. Every room is beautiful, with many interesting pieces of furniture and objects, well-described in write-up cards on the self-guided Tours. The turret stair is a challenge, but optional routes are clearly noted. Along our way, we came across Guy and Victoria Macpherson-Grant, the young couple who have taken over operation of the Castle from his mother. While not formally introduced, we recognized them from the brochure and they were incredibly warm and friendly as they went about attending to a few “housekeeping” chores. They and their family are wonderful stewards of this exceptional property. Turning outside, we thoroughly enjoyed the incredible landscape, very well-maintained, including the Rock Garden and more formal Walled Garden. Delightful lunch in the Tearoom and a stop in the award-winning loos! Highly recommended...

Brodie Castle

A clan chief's treasure house, generations of Clan Brodie have lived and died within Brodie Castle. On the tour can be seen a letter from Robert the Bruce, the coronation robe worn by Queen Adelaide in 1831, antique furniture and ceramics and an extensive art collection, including three works by the Scottish Colourists. This 16th-century castle is a slice of Scottish history not to be missed. There's plenty to discover outside the castle too. The 71 hectare estate has landscaped gardens, a large pond, a walled garden, a woodland walk, an adventure playground and a nature trail with observation hides for watching wildlife.

Excellent visit to Brodie Castle and grounds, there is a member of National Trust Staff in the rooms who will explain each room which made for an interesting visit. The weather was excellent too.
