Aboyne is probably a no no. Unless you are on 'gliding business' then you wont get in. Many gliding sites dont allow powered aircraft(apart from tug's) due to planning permission. There are way's around however which will allow one or two aircraft to slip through the net so to speak.
Edzell is most definitely a no no too. As someone mentioned earlier, it is now a pipe storage yard. There is still about 600 metres of tarmac which is in good condition however there are obstacles at either end(high tree's and pipe's) which would stop anything from getting in or out(apart from a chopper or a harrier maybe!), assuming of course the owner was happy to allow aircraft to operate there.
As for Fordoun, there's nothing usable there.
Best bet is Insch, it's not too far from away. Get some short field grass experience before you go.
