Arriving from the East on the A93

Follow signs to Aboyne and continue through the village on the main road (Ballater Road). At the cross-roads just by St. Thomas' Church turn right following signs to Tarland. Continue on this road for 2 miles until you see a red and white slow down sign as you approach a right bend. We are the next hidden entrance on the right just after a second slow down sign. There is a Gellan Cottage hanging sign.
