Since Ballater is next to Balmoral, I decided to check it out. And since the weather forecast was bad, I decided to take a bus. I told everyone about my plan, but the people wasn't very keen. Anyway, I did all the research and sorted out the bus time tables, booked my ticket and packed some lunch and went.
I went to Balmoral on the first bus, by the time am done with the audio tour, the grounds and the river side walk, I went back to the cafe, and found three bikers at the cafe. They came on their bikes.
I stopped for lunch and had some cullen skink. Their cullen skink has fewer visible haddock bits, but tasted very nice.
After lunch, I set out for a walk up the hill on the Balmoral estates.
I got quite lost, and when I got back to the grounds, I was rushing to catch the bus. I bumped into the same bikers again, they were also just leaving.
Since my bus ticket cover the whole of Deeside, I took the bus onwards to Braemar. Braemar is a small town, so after a quick walk onto their Highlands Grounds, I decided to talk up the hill!
On the way back, I walked passed a red squirrel feeding station, there were loads of red squirrels. After a long day and long walks, I had a long hot bath and called it a day.
As it turned out, another 3 bikers went to Balmoral, I should totally get a commission!
