Dinnet (Scottish Gaelic, Dùnaidh) is a village in the Marr area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Approximately equidistant from Deeside towns Aboyne and Ballater and situated on the main A93 road in the valley of the River Dee, it is said to be the gateway to both the Highlands (despite the fact that it is well within the boundaries of present-day Aberdeenshire) and the Cairngorms National Park.[1] It is the first village along the Dee to be located inside the park.
Nearby are Dinnet Oakwood, Loch Kinord, Loch Davan and Burn O'Vat.[2]
