Strathdon

Strathdon (/stræθˈdɒn/; Gaelic: Srath Dheathain) is an area in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It is situated in the strath of the River Don, 45 miles west of Aberdeen in the Highlands.

The main village in the strath is Bellabeg, although it was originally called Invernochty due to its location at the confluence of the River Don and the Water of Nochty.

This means that there are no precise boundaries in terms of where it begins or ends.

Notable figures who have visited Strathdon include Sean Connery, Billy Connolly, Ewan McGregor and Queen Elizabeth II.
