Leys Estate was pleased to welcome the Small Business Saturday UK team to Milton of Crathes in November as part of their 2025 UK Tour.

The national campaign highlights the important role small businesses play within local communities across the country. During their visit, the team met with representatives from Aberdeenshire Council and visited both Milton Art Gallery and Milton Brasserie to learn more about the range of local businesses based at Milton of Crathes.

The visit formed part of Small Business Saturday’s annual nationwide roadshow, which celebrates and supports small businesses in the lead-up to Small Business Saturday on Saturday, 6th December 2025.

Susanne Shepherd, Communications & Marketing Manager for Leys Estate said:  “We were delighted to welcome the Small Business Saturday team to Milton of Crathes and to have the opportunity to showcase just some of the talented and creative businesses that call the estate home.”

“Supporting small businesses and enterprises is central to our vision for a thriving, sustainable local economy, and we are proud that this was recognised through the team’s visit.”

We were honoured that Milton of Crathes was chosen as a stop on this year’s tour, recognising the strength, creativity, and collaboration that underpin the local business community here on Leys Estate.
