Nestled amidst expansive, gently rolling countryside, Potterton has a small, tight-knit population, giving it a strong sense of local identity. The village features historic stone buildings, including a local church, and is surrounded by farmland and woodland. It’s a quiet, family-friendly place ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life.

For rail links, Dyce station lies approximately 4 away, with Aberdeen station also within reachable distance. Medical services are accessible too, the nearest GP surgery is in Dyce. One of Potterton’s most valuable features is its proximity to Aberdeen International Airport, located just 5.5 miles (approximately 10 minutes by car) to the west.
