Drumdelgie was formerly one of the biggest farms in Aberdeenshire and life on the farm in the nineteenth century is described in a well-known bothy ballad, "The Hash o' Drumdelgie".
Located between the Grampian mountains and the unspoilt coastline of the Moray Firth, we are ideally located for visiting the famous Speyside distilleries on the Whisky Trail, or north-east Scotland's many dramatic and romantic castles on the Castle Trail. It is an excellent location for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks such as the Speyside Trail or the numerous coastal and forest walks established in the region. The area is also perfect for cycling or mountain-biking, fishing, pony-trekking and golf.
