Scotland is filled with wonderful locations that are ideal for enjoying no matter the time of year, but in autumn, as the seasons change, there are few better places to enjoy a cosy adventure or refreshing break where you’ll be able to make the most of the dramatic colour changes we'll see in woodlands across the country.
One hidden gem that’s ideal for an autumn escape is the northeast, where you’ll find breathtaking scenery, snug spots to coorie up in, and a mouth-watering array of food and drink options. Offering wild woodlands, dramatic landscapes, expansive walking trails, heaps of history and city adventures, Aberdeenshire will have you wanting to come back again and again – and wondering why you'd left it so long to come in the first place.
The jewel in Aberdeenshire’s crown, Aberdeen is a city packed with everything you need from a wonderful coastal location to not only its own historic old town to wander around but also the beautiful and very photogenic fishing village of Footdee (known locally as Fittie) just twenty minutes walk away – or just under 5 minutes by car. Speaking of walking, getting outside for an autumn wander is one of the best parts of this season, and the city offers plenty of beautiful green spaces to enjoy.
These include the likes of the David Welsh Winter Gardens at Duthie Park, one of Europe’s largest indoor gardens, where you’ll find warmer places to escape the cold with a visit to the delights of the Corridor of Perfumes, Japanese Garden and Tropical House. Hazlehead Park might be more seasonally fitting, with woodland walks to enjoy all the glow of the golds, oranges and reds of the surrounding foliage, and Scotland’s oldest maze, dating all the way back to the 1930s.
