Great walks along the old railway line from Aberdeen to Ballater with great views of the river. While many cyclists share the path responsibly, many don't especially during the rush hours where the old railway line is a useful traffic free route and some seem to want to shave a couple of seconds off their PB during their commute.

No loo but great grub and cuppa. A good stop on the outskirts of Aberdeen.

A good place to go for a walk in Aberdeen away from traffic. Wheelchair accessible and good tarmac surface for several miles. Can be busy with cyclists.

The pavements along this bridge are narrow so care should be taken as it can be very busy.
