Weather

The Scottish weather can be unpredictable, however, the north east of Scotland has a good record but you should still anticipate a wide range of weather conditions.

The daily programme will be subject to change after taking into account the expected weather conditions and other factors ie, land use management.

For the current weather conditions please visit Geoff Monk's excellent Mountain Weather Information Service or the nearby Aboyne webcam. If you have any questions on equipment or weather, indeed any aspect of a walkdeeside holiday, please ask and use our knowledge and experience to ensure you get the best from your holiday.
