Happy New Year folks. Visiting these castles has been a real help to our family over the last twelve months. Even if we couldn’t get inside many of them, the grounds, walking trails and playgrounds are as fab as ever. And if you don’t know Aberdeenshire well, then what are you waiting for? This is castle country – visit us as soon as you can!
We may not be able to go into each other’s houses right now, but we can treat ourselves and meet loved ones outwith the home. Discover venues with specific Afternoon Tea menus for children in Aberdeen and shire.
Some people, quarantined at home, are using some of their time planning, searching the net, and seeking inspiration and ideas for future trips, for 2021 or beyond. I know that a lot of visitors to Scotland wish to dot from Edinburgh to Loch Ness, then to Skye, but I’m here to tempt you up the east coast of Scotland, when the time is right. This region features my favourite castle, the Queen’s holiday residence, the town where Kate & Wills met, plus access to beautiful beaches, as well as distilleries, galleries and museums. This obviously isn’t about immediate adventures, but seeking ideas and inspiration, so do consider the road less travelled.
