Situated on the north east coast of Scotland, Aberdeenshire is home to what National Geographic calls

“one of the last great places on earth” – the stunning Cairngorns National Park.

Garlogie Gas Compressor Station & St Fergus Gas Terminal – Aberdeenshire

With miles of great estates, vast moorlands, ancient Caledonian forests, rolling farmland, sandy beaches and one of the world’s top-rated coastlines, natural beauty is all around in Aberdeenshire. It’s a place of big skies and wide horizons, loved for its fresh air and quality of light. In summer, the days stretch on forever; in winter, the nights are full of stars – including on occasion the spectacular Northern Lights.

The city of Aberdeen – where ships dock up next to city-centre streets and dolphins swim in the North Sea harbour – is full of incredible architecture including hundreds of historic castles.

While you might expect the cost of buying a property to match the natural beauty, the average house price in Aberdeenshire is very affordable at £203,291 (as of September 2024). And from Aberdeen airport, you can travel all over europe, with flights going as far east as Turkey.

So whether you want to live by the coast at St Fergus, or you want to be closer to the hustle and bustle of Aberdeen in Garlogie, one thing’s for sure: Aberdeenshire has it all.
