Methlick is a small rural village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, sitting on the banks of the River Ythan. The surrounding landscape is largely agricultural with pockets of wetland and riverine habitat, giving the area a quiet, scenic character while providing good opportunities for angling and birdwatching.

Local life centres on a close-knit community with a village hall, church and primary school, and traditional farming still plays an important role in the local economy alongside residents who commute to larger centres such as Aberdeen. Methlick’s stone buildings, bridges and rural setting reflect its long history as a small agricultural parish in the north-east of Scotland.
