Buchan means the land at the end of the ocean. The coastline itself is varied with long sandy beaches and steep, bird inhabited cliffs. Farming and fishing is the mainstay of the local economy. The rich agricultural lowlands are sparsely populated and are in striking contrast to the bustling coastal towns and villages. Most of the cycle routes described in this leaflet have been designed to cater for all ages and abilities and where possible, off-road, family and commuter routes have been selected. Some routes require more effort than others. The routes in this leaflet show distance, effort required and tourist attractions. Most routes use the quieter roads but may involve short stretches of main ‘A’ roads to continue the route. Great care should be taken at all times whilst cycling, particularly on these busy stretches of road. Please let large vehicles pass and remember you may encounter forestry operations off-road. Please keep well clear and observe signs and diversions for your safety. We advise that you also take an O.S map with you. While the routes featured follow quiet roads and key features have been identified, an O.S map will guide you further in the area. LandRanger 1:50,000 No. 30.
