- First in a three part series.
The Deeside Way is a long distance path in Scotland running from near the centre of Aberdeen City, to Ballater, in the Cairngorms National Park.
The route follows the line of the Old Royal Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Banchory, through woodland and farmland to Kincardine O’Neil and then rejoins the old line from Aboyne to Ballater, total distance 41 miles.
The Deeside Railway was a line that travelled from Aberdeen to Ballater as a stretch of the Great North of Scotland Railway. Its tracks have since been removed in their entirety and the path opened as a track to the public. While in operation, the railway was used by the British Royal Family during travel to their Scottish retreat at Balmoral, hence the local name the Royal Deeside Line.
The path is suitable for walkers and cyclists with many sections suitable for horses as well and is Route 135 of the National Cycle Network which is coordinated and promoted by Sustrans.

Ah - now you're really at it again! Out of hibernation and in some nice weather too - hear all the birds chirping. Nice scouting of Scotland. I like those hikes of you, bring on part 2!
+Wilco de Jonge thanks Wilco, Spring has finally sprung in Scotland!! Soon be back out with the tent, just a few things to buy. Part 2 is up now, part 3 in next day or two.
great travelog and good laugh Mr Hill ATB
Thank you for this movie, I have tried travel but I have lost my way. Sorry for my English
The Deeside way is absolutely brilliant - in the short term it offers a great route for getting active, and in the long term it being there and stopping development means that reopening the Deeside Railway is still very feasible.
Yeah, I would like to see the line re-opened, would be so handy for accessing the Cainrgorms as the bus takes forever but at the same time it would be sad to lose the walking/cycle route. I liked to think of it as my escape route to the Cairngorms when I stayed in Aberdeen. I've moved now though.
I walk here every day lol
14:46 look to ur right and that’s my house
I looked into this route to cycle on a visit but wasn't sure. After watching your video it gave me the confidence to go ahead as I am a woman & would be on my own. Thank you for posting your journey. Must admit I hit the pathway through the woods just as it got dark..bad timing on my part... bit scary on my own! just a couple of wrong turns but managed in the end. Thanks again..very useful...Sue
excellent Susan glad to hear my video was helpful thanks for the comment
