Methlick周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Maud, formerly known as Brucklay is a quaint village that once served as a crucial junction for the Fraserburgh and Peterhead railway lines. The station, a lasting testament to its historical significance, now houses the Formartine & Buchan Railway Museum. Note that the museum operates seasonally during the summer, so it's advisable to check the opening times before planning your visit.

A good and very flat section of the cycle way. Just north of Auchnagatt can be muddy and rockier than other sections of the line, and exposed to the wind. The views across the farmland are good.

Back open since lockdown and masonry inspections. Check historic Scotland for opening times. I visited again in August 2023. Youll find a surprising amount of castle to see!

A place for fancy coffee and posh breakfast or lunch.

The Formartine and Buchan Way is a multi-user trail that follows the old railway line from Dyce in the south to Fraserburgh on the north coast. There is also a branch line that splits from the main trail at Maud and heads east to the coast at Peterhead. This section is well surfaced and suitable for all riders.

Tolquhon Castle remains seem quite impressive. Unfortunately the grounds are closed, so can only observe the castle from the street. Still a good spot to leave the car for a walk. https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/tolquhon-castle/

Interesting ruin owned by the Haddo Estate. It is fenced off, although that may be more to keep the cows out. Didn't see any cows in the field, but there was evidence they were there.

Parking just a short walk away from the castle. The castle sits in a field so there may be cattle at certain times of the year. A small loop down to the Ythan river is a fine addition to walking to the castle and makes a good outing last a little longer.
