With everything from dramatic mountain peaks and ancient woodland to world-class beaches, green fields and iconic rivers like The Tay, The Tweed and The Spey - it’s no wonder that the breath-taking landscape is the number one reason people choose to holiday here in Scotland.
And with over 80% of the country’s land used for agriculture, Scotland’s farmers are custodians of this natural treasury.
From the lush pasture of the southwest, home to Scotland’s biggest dairy herds; to the legendary peaks of The Highlands, where sheep graze at all levels; the country is home to a living and productive landscape.
This, combined with the unique climate, and the care taken by generations of farmers, really makes Scotland a land of food and drink.
Castleton Farm Shop & Café, handily adjacent to the A90 - the main road between Aberdeen and Dundee - has quickly become a local institution. The shop stocks cupboard essentials year-round as well as the seasonal bonanza of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cherries, which are picked daily.
The café dishes make stars of local produce which visitors can enjoy with beautiful views over the rich Mearns countryside.
The online shop provides a click-and-collect service as well as nationwide delivery, selling home-made ready meals, home-baking, sweets and preserves.
