Aberdeenshire Council has further developed its partnership with local producers bringing together the finest foods, arts, crafts and textiles from the area to promote a "menu" which is the pride of Aberdeenshire.
"Exclusively Aberdeenshire" illustrates the versatility and variety of our produce here in the north east of Scotland - it shows a dedication 
to innovation and quality. From shortbread to whisky, paintings to woodturning, clothes making to writing books - we bring you a fabulous showcase, which has been specifically selected with you in mind.
Our local producers use quality raw materials from the land and the
sea, coupled with skills handed down through generations to create traditional, as well as new and exciting ideas. Not only do we appreciate the finest produce we have on our doorstep, but the reputation for quality food, drink, arts and crafts from the north east is renowned world wide."
