Repair works Scotstown Beach Car Park 19.08

Repair works Scotstown Beach Car Park, Access Road – 19^th August 2024

Financial support from the Crown Estate’s Coastal Communities Fund is making it possible for Aberdeenshire Council to carry out repairs to the unadopted section of the access road to this important facility on Buchan’s spectacular east coast.

Scotstown Beach is a much-loved stretch of Aberdeenshire’s Coastal route and popular with local families, dog walkers and visitors from further afield.

These repair works are the next part of improving the overall visitor experience to Scotstown Beach following the upgrade works undertaken to this countryside car park earlier this year. This will significantly improve access to this coastal asset while still being in keeping with the site’s natural characteristics and topography.

Work is due to begin on Monday 19^th August and take five days to complete. During this period the road and car park will be inaccessible and closed to the public (https://online.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/Apps/roadworks/pdf/BU6279.pdf).

Access will be available for residents/businesses only. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.
