About Fordoun

Fordoun is a small Aberdeenshire village about 20 minutes southwest of Stonehaven on the A90.

The village is dominated by its impressive Victorian railway viaduct, a striking stone structure that once carried trains on the main line north but now stands as a monument to Scotland's railway heritage.
