It's two and a half hours on the train from Edinburgh 
Portlethon is a dump...but only a 5 minute drive from Aberdeen.
We'll be up there from July too so can keep you company

no....train takes longer than car...
and don't even try bussing it...I think I almost permanently damaged my back after a 5 hour mega bus journey
We still need to find ourselves somewhere to live....going to look at a few places on Friday and Saturday

we did....didn't work out though...value came in a lot lower than we were expecting and the seller didn't want to drop the price....
so back to looking again.
I would think that driving would be better....Portlethon is on the way out of Aberdeen...if you were to get the train, you'd then have to go into Aberdeen which could take about 45mins on a bus in rush hour
