Formartine and Buchan Way
The Formartine and Buchan Way is a long-distance footpath in Scotland, extending from Dyce north to Peterhead and Fraserburgh. It follows the track of a former railway line, the Formartine and Buchan Railway, and is open to walkers and cyclists. Horse riders are also welcome on parts of the track but may require a permit. The railway closed in 1979 (Fraserburgh) and 1970 (Maud-Peterhead). The walkway opened in the early 1990s.
The path is around 53 miles (85 km) long and can be accessed relatively easily by public transport or car. Only the Maud station is less accessible by bus. A map of the Formatine and Buchan way is no longer available from local tourist offices, but it is marked on OS maps.
The path starts at Dyce (57°12′20″N 2°11′32″W / 57.2056°N 2.1923°W), which is on the outskirts of Aberdeen City. It passes to the east of Newmachar and through Udny Station before reaching Ellon after 13 miles (21 km). It continues north through Auchnagatt before reaching the crossroads of Maud. The Ellon to Maud section is 12.5 miles (20.1 km) long. At Maud the Way goes east to Peterhead (57°30′32″N 1°47′37″W / 57.5088°N 1.7935°W) and north to Fraserburgh (57°41′36″N 2°00′13″W / 57.6933°N 2.0037°W). It is 13 miles (21 km) to Peterhead and 15.5 to Fraserburgh.
