The Deeside Way (commonly known as the Old Deeside Line; the Royal Deeside Line or simply the Deeside Line), is a pathway that travels along the bed of the now removed Deeside Railway, along the north bank of the River Dee in Scotland.
While in operation, the railway was used by the British Royal Family during travel to their Scottish retreat at Balmoral, hence the local name the Royal Deeside Line.
The Deeside Railway was a line that travelled from Aberdeen to Ballater as a stretch of the Great North of Scotland Railway.
Its tracks have since been removed in their entirety and the path opened as a track to the public. However Royal Deeside Railway preservation society are reclaiming part of the line to build a heritage railway from Banchory to Milton of Crathes.
