I live in Peterculter, when i am home. It's pretty nice, well i enjoy it anyway. A bus will take 25 minutes into town and a little bit longer at rush hour. Service is reliable, they run every 15 minutes up until about 19.30 when it changes to half hours. There is also a late service on Friday and Saturday nights till about 3am.

That is if you dare ride a bus with Gandalf.

Yeah it's just clicked to me as well, it means saturday morning. Seeing as it starts after midnight.

Yeah, there are some nice houses up by the Bush. For a small village, it's got quite a lot within walking distance. Good golf course as well if you are into golf.

Yeah, night bus on Friday and Saturday.

The stuff on this site is worryingly accurate, although I will say that Culter has changed a lot in recent years as posh houses were built and more middle class moved in, seeing it as a cheaper way to get their kids into Cults than buying there or in Milltimber.

does that mean you'd come out and see us? we're worried we'll never see anyone again if we don't live within walking distance.
