‘Even though the royal family spend part of the year here, Royal Deeside is almost still a secret area in some ways’

Anderson and wonderful singer Emeli Sandé. A few years ago, I went to Belfast with a posse


of people from Aberdeenshire to promote our area. I sat in our cottage at Cruden Bay writing my speech. All of my three children were there and Sophie was sitting there drawing, as she does. I asked her what she would say – how a 15-year-old would promote the area. She said, just look out the window – look at


the golf course, one of the top 100 in the world. Look at


the ferries going up to Orkney and


Shetland. Look at the boats and the helicopters that tell you about the oil industry. Then look over there and see Slains Castle,


thr atmospheric ruin which inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Then you’ve got Fraserburgh and the lighthouses. Then you’ve got the whisky trail and all the castles you can visit, and there are ghosts in some of them. That’s when my husband looked up from


his paper and said: ‘Don’t tell them anything – they’ll all want to come.’
