Aberdeen & Grampian Vacation Rental cottage: Johnshaven

Sea Shell Cottage has oil fired central heating. It has 3 comfortable bedrooms (2 double and one with twin beds), a bathroom with over bath shower, a traditional style living room and a kitchen with dinning space for 6. The cottage is comfortable and provides an ideal base for relaxing and also for exploring the north east coast, Aberdeenshire and nearby Royal Deeside. Wind your way north from Dundee along the A92 and you will find the picturesque fishing village of Johnshaven nestled on the east coast of Scotland, between Aberdeen (the Granite City) and Dundee (City of Discovery). Artists, poets and musicians have over the years drawn inspiration from the dramatic seascapes and idyllic seclusion offered by the north east coastal villages of Scotland as well as the hinterland which encompasses the Howe of the Mearns, (Lewis Grassic Gibbon country).

The famed British painter Joan Eardley (1921-1963) was enchanted by this coast amongst her favourite subjects in her later years was the village of Catterline and the ever present seascapes which inspired her, especially in stormy weather conditions. The freely painted, often bleak and desolate works that resulted are among the most powerful and individual landscapes in 20th-century British art.
