I love coastal walking and, at one time, I thought I might write a guide to the Aberdeenshire coastal path. On paper, this goes from Portsoy to St Cyrus and it should be a fantastic walk. Unfortunately, however, it’s a coastal path in name only and lots of the walk is on roads (even the busy A90) which are a fair bit from the coast. I don’t much like road walking so I’ve given up on this idea.
We got dropped off at the Crawton road end on the A92 and walked down to the coast. When I walk on the coast, I make a point of sticking to the beach or the clifftops as far as is possible. I did this on this walk from the RSPB reserve at Crawton to the village of Catterline. It’s quite a short walk - about 3km with ins and outs around the coast. But we added a bit by going north before turning south so maybe 5k altogether.
