One of the top places to live in the UK, Banchory draws people who want to experience a slice of the Scottish lifestyle and the culture of Aberdeenshire. The town has been the site of human settlements since 2000 BC, and its current name is derived from St. Ternan’s historic college. As a rural town, Banchory continues to expand and the nearby Royal Deeside Railway is a big attraction. The archeological sites around the town, especially the stone circles, are tourist magnets. Crathes Castle is also popular, with its splendid garden and estate drawing tourists. Trails in the region are ideal spots for hiking, and the Falls of Feugh with its stone bridge is a must-see.
