About Us

ActiveAboyne was established to promote activity tourism in Royal Deeside and the Eastern Cairngorms and to introduce outdoor activities to young and old in Deeside and surrounding areas.

We are a project run within Mid Deeside Ltd and funded and supported by various bodies including Upper Deeside Community Development Group, Cairngorms National Parks Authority, Leader+, Aberdeenshire Council Support for Business, Marr Area Partnership, Aberdeenshire Council Ranger Service, Glen Tanar Ranger Service and Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms  (the Destination Management Organisation responsible for marketing the Deeside area).

We would not exist without the support of an able and active group of volunteers, local estates and local activity providers and a number of photographers who have enerously allowed us to use their images, including Helen Rowe, David Coleman, Alan Melrose, Mike Martin and Lyn Lovie.

We would particularly like to thank our 2009 sponsors, Hilltrek, Paramo, Burnett & Reid (Solicitors) and The Cairngorm Club.

We look forward to your interest in our program and to meeting you on one of our activities.
