Aberdeenshire Council is launching this years AdvenShire treasure hunt, with towns containing clues all leading to a famous location and exciting prizes.
The trails each contain six clues to be solved by walking or cycling the route.
Once solved, the clues will give a six-digit number which can be used to collect a special prize from a local library.
Completing all the trails across Aberdeenshire will allow the treasure hunter to discover a mystery location.
Encouraging Active Travel
The Treasure Trail maps support the council’s work in encouraging more sustainable and active travel in communities.
Cllr Alan Turner, chair of Aberdeenshire Council’s Infrastructure Services Committee, said: “These Treasure Trails are a tremendous way to get residents, families and visitors alike to get out into the fresh air and enjoy some healthy activity as they walk, cycle or wheel around their communities.
"Not only is it giving them plenty of exercise, they will also be learning about Aberdeenshire’s rich history and cultural heritage.”
Vice-chair, Cllr Isobel Davidson added: “I think people from all over Aberdeenshire will really enjoy participating in this free, fun scheme over the coming months and I would like to thank the Smarter Choices, Smarter Places programme for their generous funding.”
Maps are available in Live Life Aberdeenshire’s libraries at Alford, Balmedie, Banchory, Banff, Ellon, Inverurie, Kemnay, Macduff, Newburgh (Cruden Bay Library) Oldmeldrum, Peterhead, Stonehaven, Turriff and Westhill.
