Autospares of Huntly 49 Duke Street 01466 793682 Despite the name this shop sells and services bicycles - and has cycle spares too. Not used their services, but spoke to the owner after spotting bikes in the window - he tells me that he started adding bikes to his repertoire after the former specialist bike shop in Huntly closed a few years ago.

Newton Stewart HDI (Car Care) Ltd 80 Victoria Street 01671 404002 I remember this shop as I had split a tyre on some sharp stones on the edge of the road a couple of miles outside Newton Stewart in 2005 - doesn't show in search for Bike shops in Newton Stewart as bike hire/repairs etc is just one of a number of services provided by HDI.

Elgin: (17 miles) Bikes and Bowls 7 High Street 01343 549656 In 2008 - excellent service. Hobbled into Elgin, late in the afternoon, with several broken spokes acquired en route from Fraserburgh (no other bike shops on the way). I was amazed at the owner's offer to mend it later that evening after going home for his tea first! So I was back mobile much sooner than expected. They were also able to hire me a bike in November 2012 (despite not usually hiring bikes out of season) after my bike was stolen.

Whiskies of Scotland is the retail face of Duncan Taylor - the online presence is Single Malts Direct. I'm not sure whether they are really all part of the same company, or just have close ownership links - actually, I don't care - they bottle good whisky.
The local Costcutter, Essons of Huntly, also has a good range of whiskies, and in most locations would be regarded as THE whisky specialists. Worth looking in on them, as they often have some good bargains. Talisker 18 at £49.99 in 2013; Aberlour A'bunadh at £30 in 2014! Distilleries None at present but Duncan Taylor have had plans for one since 2008 - it's been put on the back burner due to the recession. Glendronach distillery at Forgue and Knockdhu (anCnoc) distillery are both about 9 miles from Huntly, as is Ardmore at Kennethmont, but it's not open to the public. Bars - Huntly has plenty of bars, but Fergus in Whiskies of Scotland reckoned the best bet for single malts was the Castle Hotel (see right); Ronnie suggested the Crown Bar, just off the Square. |
