At Milton of Crathes, we know that some of the best days out are shared with our furry friends.

With beautiful woodland trails, open space to explore, and stunning views along the banks of the River Dee, Milton of Crathes is the perfect place to enjoy some quality time outdoors with your four-legged companion.

Whether you're stopping by for a leisurely stroll, visiting one of our monthly markets, or popping into the shops, there's always a warm welcome waiting for dogs and their owners. (Please check with individual businesses for their dog-friendly policy. 🐶)

To celebration National Dog Day we'd love to see your furry friends enjoying everything Milton of Crathes has to offer, so share a photo in the comments below, we’ll start 🐶❤️

🚂 Cream tea lovers, this is your last stop! 🍰

This Sunday marks the final Royal Deeside Railway Cream Tea Special of 2026, and there are only limited spaces left.

Enjoy a relaxing journey, delicious cream tea, and a wonderful day out at the Milton of Crathes before the season comes to an end.

Book now and treat yourself before you'll have to wait until 2027 for the next one!🚂🫖

Our final Cream Tea of 2026 is almost here!! 🍰🚂

After such a brilliant response to our Cream Tea Specials this year, we thought long and hard and decided to add ONE FINAL DATE and that last Cream Tea takes place this Sunday 30/08/2026.

We now have limited spaces remaining on our 3pm service, with the best availability at 11am if you fancy starting the day with an early Cream Tea.

This really is your last chance to enjoy one of our Cream Tea experiences this year. Once Sunday is over, you’ll have to wait until 2027 to get your next Cream Tea fix! 😬

We’re incredibly grateful for the support our community has shown throughout 2026. Seeing so many Cream Tea’s sell strongly, and so many people choosing to spend part of their day with us, has meant a lot to everyone involved at the Deeside Railway.

We can’t wait to welcome our final Cream Tea guests of the year to Milton of Crathes this Sunday. ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now’s the time.
