Where is it?
Why do you go there? I did all the mountains and ridges round there when I was younger: The Three Sisters, Buachaille Etive Mor and the Aonach Eagach Ridge a few times. I am a scrambler and a hillwalker, not a ropes climber – I have never quite had the courage for that.
How often do you go? Every two or three years. If I am in Scotland, I try to go. Even for just a day trip.
How did you discover it? Through school trips, travelling up from Edinburgh. My school had what was called third-year projects where you would help in the community and then on your downtime go hiking, camping and climbing.
Thorneybank Farm Shop, Rothienorman, Aberdeenshire This charming farm shop can be found on the B9001, near Rothienorman, around 14 miles north of Inverurie. It was originally set up by Eric Stephen in the 1980s as a simple cart selling homegrown veg. The coffee gets rave reviews as do the homemade cakes.
