New to Stonehaven/Aberdeenshire (back from Oz)

[JAWs]

Hello everyone, new member here.
I/we moved back from Oz this year, will be living in Stonehaven from November.
My fishing gear doesn't arrive back until the end of November though.

Just wondering what options are available in and around Stonehaven and Aberdeen - don't want to have to pay a lot of money on permits etc or travel too far if I can help it.

I've got some good Beach, Pier, and Light Spinning gear.
I've never done any Fly Fishing, and I don't have any gear for that (as yet).

I don't even know what fish to be targeting or what to use to give me a fighting chance.

Are there any good books that would be of help to me?

Any info/help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
