This Deeside Way companion guidebook is for curious wanderers, to accompany and enhance your exploration of the 41-mile waymarked path – from the city of Aberdeen, through the towns, villages and hamlets of beautiful Deeside, and into the Cairngorms National Park.

A reflective guide to place, walking, and memory. This book explores the Deeside Way through a blend of archival research, local history, and slow, attentive walking. Combining field notes, observation, historical detail, and creative narrative, it offers readers a deeper sense of connection to the landscape and the stories held within it. The project involved research, route documentation, photography, and writing both interpretively and creatively.
