Royal Deeside

Royal Deeside is situated in the North East Region of Scotland and stretches from the rugged Cairngorm Mountains in the west to the  North Sea coastal town of Aberdeen in the East.

Its attraction as a tourist destination revolves around the Royal family and Balmoral Castle - not to mention the tranquillity, peacefulness, fresh mountain air and outstanding beauty that the area has to offer.

Ballater

Over a century ago the village was a spa town where people came to 'take the waters' around Pannanich Wells. Since those early days the village has developed as a popular tourist location ideal for touring Royal Deeside and North East Scotland.
