Keith and Dufftown Railway - out and about in Moray, Scotland
Debbie and I had a great couple of hours out at the Keith and Dufftown Railway recently and thought we'd share it with you.
It's only a few minutes down the road from our loverly holiday cottages at and it's a great place for the entire family. Not only can you enjoy the station and it's excellent cafe, but you can also ride the trains up and down the line.

Dufftown to Aberdour Beach - The Scottish Adventure - Episode Ten
In this episode we travel from Balvenie Castle in Dufftown to Aberdour Beach near New Aberdour.
Aberdour beach can be found near the 19th century planned village of New Aberdour, which contains one of the oldest churches in Scotland which is believed to have been founded in 580 AD by Saint Drostan and Saint Columba.
While exploring Aberdour beach we found more swallows building their nests in the caves.
The Retro Lab's Scottish Adventure is a two thousand mile road trip around Scotland in which we continued our mission to find Britain's (and maybe even the world's) best driving roads, also visiting many castles and other points-of-interest along the way, but it didn't go quite how we had planned....
