Strathdon

Scotland

Strathdon lies deep in Aberdeenshire's Cairngorms foothills along the River Don valley. Reach it via the A944 and A97 from Aberdeen (60km), or take the scenic mountain route through Ballater on the B976. The village sits on the historic Lecht Road between Deeside and Speyside, with Corgarff Castle's distinctive white-painted walls standing guard over this remote Highland glen.
