About Longside

Longside lies in rural Aberdeenshire, roughly 40 kilometres north of Aberdeen via the A90 and A948. This farming village sits among the rolling fields typical of northeast Scotland's agricultural belt. The A950 provides the main north-south route through the area, connecting Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and serving local traffic between scattered communities like Mintlaw and Old Deer. The site marks the location of the 1639 Battle of Longside Muir, where Covenanter forces routed a Royalist army.
