Welcome

In the centre of Banchory, behind a bright teal shopfront, the Birdhouse is a small café with a serious approach to coffee.

It belongs to Long Walk Coffee, a speciality roaster based in the town, who roast their beans in Banchory every Monday.

The coffee is ethically sourced and roasted in small batches, from a house espresso to single origins and a decaf, and the café is the place to taste it at its freshest. It is a bakery too, with bakes and treats made fresh to go with a cup.

Long Walk also sells its coffee online and by subscription, and supplies cafés and businesses across the north east, so a bag of beans makes a good souvenir of Deeside. Banchory's High Street, the River Dee and the walks up Scolty Hill are all close by.

Hidden Scotland, the magazine

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
