About the Formartine and Buchan Way
The Formartine and Buchan Way is a long-distance trail in Scotland, extending from Dyce north to Peterhead and Fraserburgh in the Buchan and Formartine districts of Aberdeenshire in Scotland. It follows the track of a former railway line, the Formartine and Buchan Railway, and is open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The railway closed in 1979 (Fraserburgh) and 1970 (Maud-Peterhead). The walkway opened in the early 1990s, and is managed by Aberdeenshire Council. It is listed as one of Scotland's Great Trails by NatureScot. Highlights along the route include Aden Country Park, Deer Abbey at Old Deer, the White Horse at Mormond Hill, and several sites associated with the area’s railway heritage.

About this route in 3D
Open the designer and the real Formartine and Buchan Way becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
How it works
- Open the Formartine and Buchan Way in our 3D designer. Real terrain, real elevation, in your browser.
- Make it yours: use your own route, dates, labels, size and shape.
- Download the printable STL file, or order a finished 3D print. We ship to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Common questions
- Is this the real terrain of the Formartine and Buchan Way?
- Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Formartine and Buchan Way appears at true relative height.
- Can I use my own route instead?
- Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Formartine and Buchan Way is just the starting point.
- How do I get the finished model?
- Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
- Can I download the Formartine and Buchan Way as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
- Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Formartine and Buchan Way costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
