Menie is an area of land just north of Balmedie, Aberdeenshire. Sparsely populated, its main feature is Menie House, a grand 14th century country property surrounded by over 200 acres of private land, collectively known as the Menie Estate. The estate leads directly onto Balmedie beach, a wide, sandy expanse stretching from Balmedie to just south of the River Ythan's estuary. The beach boasts an extensive dune system, a large array of wildlife and a charming network of boardwalks crossing a large section of the beach.

Menie was in the news recently because American billionaire Donald Trump purchased a large part of the site to build a vast golf complex.

For those who are unfamiliar with the geography of the area, Balmedie is a small town about 4 miles north of the city of Aberdeen.

It was formerly owned by Sandra and Tom Griffin.
