Super Scurry

Super Scurry is an art gallery tucked away in Aberdeenshire that punches well above its weight. It's the kind of place where you genuinely don't know what you'll walk into - which is rather the point. The work on display tends toward the contemporary and experimental, with rotating exhibitions that keep locals coming back rather than treating it as a one-off visit.

For anyone serious about art, it's worth the detour from Ferryhill. The space itself feels intimate without being cramped, and there's usually someone around who actually knows what they're talking about rather than just minding the till. If you're dragging reluctant teenagers along, fair warning: this isn't interactive or Instagram-friendly in the obvious way, so don't expect them to be glued to their phones for hours.

The gallery works brilliantly as part of a caravan holiday in the area. Seaview Caravan Park and Deeside Holiday Park are both within reasonable driving distance, and you could easily combine a morning at Super Scurry with a walk or a proper lunch somewhere in Ferryhill. Parking is straightforward, and you won't feel rushed - allow an hour to do it justice, maybe two if there's a show that really grabs you.

Check ahead for opening hours and admission details before you go - independent galleries sometimes run to their own schedule. But if contemporary art is your thing, it's genuinely worth planning around.
