Methlick (Gaelic: Maothulach) is a village in the Formartine area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, situated on the River Ythan north-west of Ellon.[1]
Methlick is served by a parish church, a general store, a garage, a Chinese take-away, a hotel, and a village hall. There is a primary school,[2] with secondary pupils travelling to Meldrum Academy[3] in Oldmeldrum away. Methlick village also features a recently renovated play park in 2013 providing a range of play equipment for all ages.

These facilities are free for anyone within and outside of the Methlick community to use.
