NE Scotland - Offroad cycle routes

[duckson]

I am going on holiday to Turriff and have seen the Formatine and Buchan Way which sounds ideal :- http://www.routes2ride.org.uk/routes2ride/the_formartine_and_buchan_way/#map

Sounds right for what i want, as i'd only be doing say 10-15km can you suggest the best starting point as i can start anywhere really....mainly wondering about places to leave the car? Wasnt sure if there was somewhere like Stricken which would have space to leave a car (narrow B roads, highly likely no car parks etc).

Or can anyone suggest any other good offroad (as i have a 5yr old and 2 younger kids in cycle seats) cycle routes in NE Scotland? (Aberdeenshire).

TIA all.

Difficult to say but is this trail (sticking to the white O's on the map) suitable for a 5yr old on a BMX?

Actually this sounds ok for my 5yr old:-
