Lochter Activity Centre

About Lochter Activity Centre

Lochter Activity Centre at Oldmeldrum, near Inverurie, describes its Lochterstone circuit as Aberdeenshire's largest karting track. It is one part of a very broad activity centre — the karting sits alongside more than twenty other activities, and the business is built around corporate days, stag and hen groups and events rather than casual drop-in racing.

The Circuit

The Lochterstone track runs to 1.2km outdoors, which makes it a genuinely long circuit by UK standards — most outdoor hire tracks are half that. The karts are 250cc SodiKarts, which the centre says reach up to 60kph.

At that length a session becomes a proper stint rather than a handful of laps, and racing is run against the clock. The centre notes that karting gets very busy, so booking ahead is sensible.

Who Should Visit

Karting is open from age 8. The centre describes it as fun for all ages and abilities, and with a track this long it suits groups who want a real race rather than a quick blast.

The wider offering is where Lochter differs from a dedicated circuit: clay pigeon shooting, target rifle shooting, archery, Segway slalom, 4x4 blindfold driving, a climbing wall and zip line, water zorbing and more. For a corporate day or a stag or hen group wanting several activities in one place, that breadth is the draw.

Booking in advance is recommended — the centre says karting can be very busy, and as an outdoor circuit in Aberdeenshire it is worth checking conditions before travelling in winter.
