Had a really enjoyable experience doing mini-paint ball with family and friends. Staff were really helpful and good fun. Kids ages ranged from 8 to 15 and all enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

We went out of salmon leaping season but it was still gorgeous. The viewing bridge is a 2 minute walk from the carpark and is suitable for all ages and abilities.

A great day out near Aberdeen set in the grounds of historic Crathes Castle. You'll swagger away from this high ropes course with a newfound sense of achievement - and quite rightly so, it's 592 metres of mind-bloggling, nerve testing adventure. It'll take around 2-3 hours to experience the entire high ropes course, hitting heights of up to 9 metres!
