📌 Town in Aberdeenshire
★★
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh-turned-commuter town, 15 miles along the A96 out of Aberdeen. The historic centre, slightly marred by a messy convergence of roads, is overlooked by the grand Town Hall, built in 1862 from the region’s distinctive grey granite. This and the thriving High Street are almost attractive enough to warrant a short visit alone. Almost. But early history enthusiasts are in luck: there are a whole host of Pictish symbol stones and ancient stone circles dotted across the surrounding landscape; some are listed below, while those outwith a 3-mile radius can be found on our interactive map. If you’re happier up a hill, the popular and local Bennachie range provides some of the very best views anywhere in Aberdeenshire. One other thing – each summer the region hosts the Taste of Grampian food festival, based at a nearby agricultural centre. This is a must for any foodie if you’re in the area.
