Inverurie is the seat of the District Authority and the main town to the north of Aberdeen on the River Don. It's quite a lovely place with its granite stonework buildings. The town centre which bustles with holidaymakers and locals alike has a fair variety of colourful shops.
Agriculture, which is the mainstay of the economy, is augmented with business associated to the oil industry, thus adding to the prosperity of the region.
This is a great place for the countryside lovers with smashing walks to be had on nearby Bennachie Hill among others.

There is a centre dedicated to the natural history of the area and many ancient archaeological sites can also be visited in the near locality. A twelfth century Norman style castle ruin lies to the south of the town and Bennachie Hill to the west is reputed to be the site of Scotland's first recorded battle, Mon Graupius, at which the Roman Legions defeated the Picts. (A.D.84.)
Further north are the Ancient Stone Circles of Loanhead and Maiden each with a creepy story to tell the visitor.
In Scotland one is never far away from fishing or the famous Whisky Trail and Inverurie is no exception.
