As a farmshop, it is off the beaten track, but reachable by road from two sides – and offering stunning views in between. Sadly, that rain was fast approaching, so I settled for sitting in rather than enjoying the country air.

Potarch Café
Now that spring has finally spring on Scotland’s east coast, I was definitely ready for a walk away from Aberdeen, but chose a short-ish one that I hadn’t done yet in Aboyne. I renewed my search for coffee in the area, and when Google suggested Potarch Bridge, I was certain that was the one my colleague all those years ago mentioned.
Dreamy Goat Coffee Co.
I don’t tend to seek coffee outside of Aberdeen unless it is near a hiking route, which therefore needs to take into consideration weekend opening times. Alas, important business took me to Inverurie and left me careless for a couple of hours – time which I knew I wouldn’t struggle filling.
Ride Coffee House
This place has popped up in a few conversations with Aberdeen(shire) people that have become aware of A Black Spot; they would ask if I had been yet – suggesting it was worth a visit.
Falls of Feugh
And so, I made a U-turn and entered the dreamy-looking Falls of Feugh. A bit confused at first which way to go in the small, country-house-like hallway, once I found the right door I was shocked by the sheer size of the place – and that was only one part of it!
Birdhouse Cafe
Somehow I got through the cup and was glad I hadn’t had anything to eat with it – I was stuffed!
