About Aberdeenshire Council

Aberdeenshire is a history fanatics paradise – it has more castles than anywhere in the UK! But it’s not all about heritage; there’s farmland and rolling hills, looming mountains and gorgeous skies, coastal cliffs and far-reaching beaches. If you fancy trying your luck at spotting dolphins, the Aberdeenshire harbour is where you should head – you’ll have a good chance anywhere along the Banffshire coast. Learn all about hand-crafted whisky, perfected over centuries at ancient distilleries. Or visit one of many traditional Scottish festivals, complete with Highland games for everyone to enjoy.
