Plaidy is a tiny hamlet beside the A947 in Aberdeenshire, about three miles north of Turriff and a little under twice that south of Banff. It lies on the Craigston Burn, which in part forms the boundary between the parishes of Turriff and King Edward.
The railway line south from Macduff, part of the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway, once passed through here and there was a railway station at Plaidy, opened in 1860. The station closed in 1951 and line since been closed and the track removed.
