Distances to nearby cities, towns and services.
Aberdeen is 45 miles away and takes just over one
hour to get there.
Inverness is about 65 miles and takes approximately
one hour and 25 minutes.
The nearest town for food
shopping which also have
banks, tackle shops, hotels, restaurants and gift
shops is Ballater (16 miles) on Deeside. Nearly
every shop here is " by Royal Appointment "
as Balmoral is very near.
Other towns include Grantown on Spey (40 minutes)
, Huntly (40 minutes) where there is a good Somerfield
supermarket and Alford (30 minutes) where there
is quite a good large Co-op.
The Spar shop at Bellabeg (half a mile down the
road) is quite a surprising Aladin's cave and has
most things including a post office.
The nearest petrol is now at Glenkindie (15 minutes
towards Aberdeen). Quite a few local petrol stations
have closed within the last two years and it is
best to keep your tank quite full as there is
now no petrol available between Grantown on Spey &
Glenkindie - a distance of almost forty miles!
