Mural by Ernest Zacharevic

You'll find Ernest Zacharevic's mural work in Ferryhill, a proper spot if you're already touring the Aberdeenshire area. The street art itself is bold and distinctive - Zacharevic has that recognisable style of figure-based work that draws you in immediately. It's the kind of piece that rewards a proper look, not just a snap for Instagram.

This works best for anyone with a genuine interest in contemporary street art rather than casual visitors expecting a major attraction. You won't need more than 15 minutes here, which is fine because it slots neatly into a wider road trip through the Highlands. The mural sits right in Ferryhill itself, making it an easy stop if you're passing through or staying nearby.

If you're based at Deeside Holiday Park - about six miles away - this is worth the short drive as part of a broader day exploring the area's cultural offerings. Combine it with a walk along the River Dee or a visit to one of the local distilleries for a more rounded outing. Word of caution: Ferryhill isn't exactly a destination town, so don't expect much else by way of shops or cafes, but that's rather the point. It's genuine local street art, not sanitised for tourists. Go if you're into murals and urban creativity; skip it if you're just ticking boxes.
