Boat Inn (Aboyne)

Popular riverside inn with a food oriented lounge. Junior diners (and adults!) may request to see the model train, complete with sound effects, traverse the entire pub at picture-rail height upon completion of their meal. The public bar (The Shed) to the rear of the building has a recess at back and is used for musicians on live music nights.

Local Rotary Club regularly meets here. Three ales are served in summer, often reduced to two in winter. Ales are acquired through the Belhaven network, so there is usually at least one of their beers available and often one more from local breweries like Cairngorm.
