Platform 22

Platform 22 is a family run pottery gallery, featuring our own pottery by ceramicist Emma Pattullo and a licenced coffee house in the pretty Deeside village of Torphins. Recently we have become a micro-brewery making small batches of real ales, which are available both in house or buy to enjoy at home later! Every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm in the Platform 22 forecourt we host Torphins Market. Scotland's only weekly outdoor farmers market that runs throughout the year, promoting local business, local produce and local enterprises too. Wherever your journey takes you pull in at Platform 22 and discover the "Heart of Deeside".

My first visit to this delightful little café, even though it has apparently been there for 14 years! Lovely welcome, excellent coffee and home-made plum and cinnamon scone made for a welcome rest halfway through my bike ride. coffee and home-made plum and cinnamon scone made for a welcome rest halfway through my bike ride.

A truly fantastic gallery, I highly recommend a visit! Family ran by the hugely talented and lovely Butterworth family who are so very warm and welcoming from the outset. The place is an absolute treasure trove of stunningly beautiful art works and gifts, many depicting scenery that I have been lucky enough to grow up amongst, and in them have captured the breath-taking wild beauty, the colours, the 'feel' so wonderfully.
