It follows the track of a former railway line, the Formartine and Buchan Railway, and is open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders.[2] The railway closed in 1979 (Fraserburgh) and 1970 (Maud-Peterhead). The walkway opened in the early 1990s, and is managed by Aberdeenshire Council.[4] It is listed as one of Scotland's Great Trails by Scottish Natural Heritage.[3] Places of interest along the way include Drinnes Wood Observatory, Strichen Stone Circle, Aden Country Park, Deer Abbey and The White Horse at Strichen.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} The total path is around {{convert|53|mi|km|order=flip}} long if both spurs are walked and can be accessed relatively easily by public transport or car.[2] An information pack detailing the route has been produced by Aberdeenshire Council: the pack can be purchased from local tourist information centres and is also available to download.[5] The route is also marked on OS maps. The path is well signposted and is easy to follow. The track is relatively flat and undulates only when roads have to be crossed. It is well maintained, and few parts are overgrown. However, the Maud to Strichen section has a detour because of overgrown shrubbery, marshy conditions and numerous problems such as gates and fences blocking access.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} Sections
History of the route{{main|Formartine and Buchan Railway}}The {{convert|29|mi|km|adj=on}} long railway from Dyce to Mintlaw railway station opened on 18 July 1861, with the {{convert|13|mi|km|adj=on}} section from Maud to Peterhead railway station opening the following year. A {{convert|15|mi|km|adj=on}} long section north to Fraserburgh railway station opened on 24 April 1865.[7] Passenger services were withdrawn by the Scottish Region of British Railways in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts. Freight trains continued to operate to Peterhead until 1970 and Fraserburgh until 1979. This was in spite of the fact a considerable amount of freight traffic was being generated by the off shore oil and gas industry.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} Conversion of the line to a footpath and cycleway started in 1987, and was led by the Buchan Countryside Group.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/paths-and-outdoor-access/long-distance-routes/formartine-and-buchan-way-route-cards/|title=Formartine and Buchan Way - Route Cards|publisher=Aberdeenshire Council|accessdate=2018-08-29|date=2017-05-16}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandsgreattrails.com/trail/formartine-buchan-way//|title=Formatine and Buchan Way|publisher=Scotland's Great Trails|accessdate=2018-08-22}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandsgreattrails.com/trails/|title=Trails|publisher=Scotland's Great Trails|accessdate=2018-08-22}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nature.scot/sites/default/files/2017-07/Publication%202010%20-%20SNH%20Commissioned%20Report%20380%20-%20Developing%20the%20network%20of%20longer%20distance%20routes.pdf|title=SNH Commissioned Report 380: Developing the network of longer distance routes|publisher=Scottish Natural Heritage|date=2010|accessdate=2018-08-08|page=19}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/paths-and-outdoor-access/long-distance-routes/formartine-and-buchan-way/|title=Formartine and Buchan Way|publisher=Aberdeenshire Council|accessdate=2018-08-29|date=2017-01-04}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/aberdeenshire/formartine-buchan-way.shtml|title=Formatine and Buchan Way|publisher=WalkHighlands|accessdate=2018-08-29}} 7. ^{{Awdry-RailCo}}, (1990). p.132 See also
