In reply to andy foers:
There are plenty of places to go; Kirkhill is close to the town , it has a few marked bike trail sections, but you have to just go and explore. then there is Countiswells, plenty of walking paths and you have to just go and explore again.
20 miles out of town is Pittfichie - this is a deidcated trail that goes out across the hills and gives great views if you get there before sundown - maps will be found if you look on the web.
