Archaeolink

Dano Aberdeen

Archaeolink was a ‘living history park’ family attraction with indoor and outdoor exhibitions, hands on activities and workshops, it closed for business in 2011, I visited Sunday 2nd June 2019. I walked through the estate, some of the original displays are still on site though vandalised and overgrown with shrubbery etc. The name Archaeolink was intended by its inventors to suggest a popular bridge into the ancient past of archaeology, and the intention of the Archaeolink Trust when it was formed by Grampian Enterprise and Gordon District Council in 1991 was to create a visitor centre in the hilly and forested landscape of rural Aberdeenshire which would realise this notion. You can still enjoy a walk along the woods and take in the views though the vandalised evidence of the parks former glory is upsetting, it is up for sale though no interest has been shown by any potential buyer.
