Ballater, the perfect setting for walks from the door

Ballater is a lovely small town on the river Dee, at the end of what was the Royal Deeside Railway - Dee's everywhere! It was planned to continue to Braemar but Queen Victoria's desire for privacy at Balmoral stopped this extra section!

We stayed on a site on the edge of town with several great walks from the door. We did each one, separately, with shorter walks for Purdy in between.





The Seven Bridges Walk but we only found Five!















The weather is supposed to take a turn for the worse, with rain and cold northerly winds. We are now heading to the north eastern coast via some more castles, which are always good for not so good weather.
