Introducing Deeside & Donside
This area west and southwest of Aberdeen is outstandingly beautiful, with the pretty woodlands of the Dee valley giving way to some epic mountain scenery around Braemar and Glenshee. There's fantastic walking and skiing in this zone, as well as the Queen's Scottish residence at Balmoral. The tourist offices have information on the Castle Trail to explore the many other fine baronial buildings, but you will need your own wheels.
