Balbirnie
Set on the edge of a large park in an urban area we used this site for an overnight stop. We arrived in very wet weather and due to grass pitches being taken out of action a hardstanding pitch had been reserved for us and other arrivals that day. Our pitch was level but under trees which dropped pines cones and beech mast onto the roof of our van, quite noisy! We turned our van to face inwards as the alternative view was local housing. Some parts of the site looked very gloomy due to the position which is in a sloping wooded outer corner of the park, don't expect views or much light. There were nice touches from the wardens who had brightened up the pitch edges with flower planters. If returning to the area we would head for the lovely nearby coastal villages rather than this site.
