The Aberdeenshire region
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. The beautiful countryside of Dumfries and Galloway is littered with fortresses and strongholds, testimony to its dramatic history. Moving north, the Highlands are to Scotland what the Pyrenees are to France, with equally breathtaking scenery and fantastic opportunities for walking and mountaineering. Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park are particularly famous for skiing, whilst Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1343m, is a firm favourite for those seeking a challenge.
For the less energetic, the Whisky Trail provides a unique way of exploring many of Scotland’s attractions and for quieter moments, there’s always Loch Ness and a chance to spot the elusive monster! Scotland also has some of Britain’s best and cleanest beaches. Cromarty is famous for its bottle-nosed dolphins and Nairn, whilst claiming to be one of the sunniest and driest places in the country, has glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam. Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline.
Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Stonehaven area
The seaside resort of Stonehaven is situated in the county of Kincardineshire and occupies a sheltered position where the Carron Water and the Cowie Water empty into the North Sea. This picturesque holiday resort offers a heated, open-air Olympic size swimming pool, an 18-hole gold course and a sheltered harbour usually packed with sailing yachts. The town also boasts the Tolbooth Museum, a notable building situated on the quayside, as well as Dunnottar Castle which originates from the 11th Century. This incredible castle is positioned on the edge of a sheer 160-foot drop into the sea, just to the south of the town. Also close by is Fowlsheugh RSPB Seabird Colony, which is the largest in Britain. The bustling town of Aberdeen is an easy drive away and offers outstanding shopping, great food and a thriving nightlife, as well as the small seaside fun fair – Codonas - open all year round.

Guestbook for 1637 - Elfstone Cottage
The cottage was warm, clean and the owners were friendly. But the best of all was it was so calm! Sykes Cottages was a reliable partner.

,The location is fantastic; in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to go and visit the loads of stuff in the area. We saw some amazing sunrises. We didn't see any deer in the garden this year, but we did see the Queen at Balmoral!

,We loved the position and the quietness. Lots to see and places to go, we took the coastal route and visited all the tiny fishing coves, we went to the oldest smoke house in Scotland and bought some fresh fish and the owner showed us round which was very enjoyable. The weather was kind to us and we had sun everyday, a first for any of my Scottish holidays. The owner was very polite and helpful. A beautiful place I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet break.

,The cottage is finished to a high standard in an excellent location, not too far from Stonehaven town centre and other attractions. This is our second visit in successive years and we will definitely consider coming back.
