Alford
A swiftly growing rural town nestled in the splendour of the Aberdeenshire countryside, Alford is home to several visitor attractions including a museum, ski centre, golf course and woodland country park.
Close to some of Scotland’s largest ski centres, the town is also great for perfecting your skill all-year round on the dry ski slope at the Alford Ski Centre.
Located in the centre of the town is the renowned Grampian Transport Museum, boasting climb-aboard vintage vehicles, interactive exhibitions as well as special collections – enjoyed by adults and children alike.
For those adventure seekers, the town can also act as a base for walkers and cyclists hoping to explore Royal Deeside.
