'the ridge of St Aodhag') is a village situated between Peterculter and Banchory in North Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

There is a church, small shop (located in Park), bowling green and the, now demolished, Irvine Arms restaurant pub (aptly named after the family that owned the 13th century Drum Castle).

Drum Castle is run by the National Trust for Scotland and is open to visitors.

There are a number of housing developments progressing; a new primary school and nursery with over 100 pupils serves Drumoak.

Drumoak Manse in 1638 was the birthplace of James Gregory,[5] discoverer of diffraction gratings a year after Newton's prism experiments, and inventor of the Gregorian telescope design in 1663.
