The bustling market town of Inverurie serves as the area’s heart, offering independent shops, cafés and landmarks like the nearby Bass and Little Bass hills.

In Kintore, uncover traces of Pictish history and enjoy the warmth of a thriving community with easy access to surrounding trails and countryside.
