Road trip to the heart of Scotland
The North East 250 driving route takes you across 250 miles, over mountain passes and towards long sandy shores. Discover the authentic north east of Scotland and all it's laid back quaint charm.
There's an abundance of history and heritage to explore, from famous castles to picturesque former fishing villages and everything in between.
With many films and tv series captured in locations across the north east and nearby in recent times, why not seek out some famous location sets too.
Why not taste the best of the region too, with a vast array of locally produced food and drink on offer, including of course, whisky, Scotland's nectar and national dram.
If it's outdoor adventure you are after, the rivers, seas, mountains, forests and vast open spaces are nature's playground, waiting to be explored.
