Tour Ballater

Ballater is a small town on the River Dee near Balmoral, with close royal associations since being a favourite of Queen Victoria. A tourist resort of long standing after the establishment of a spa at nearby Pannanich in 1760 by Jacobite Colonel Francis Farquharson, it developed rapidly after the opening of a railway from Aberdeen. The Ballater Highland Games are held annually in August.

Loch Kinord Hotel. Located just a short distance from Ballater in the village of Dinnet, the hotel has 10 bright and comfortable en-suite bedrooms with television and hospitality tray. Renowned locally for its food, the hotel offers a variety of meals from snacks and bar meals to full a la carte.

Escape to the Hilton Craigendarroch House set in the heart of Royal Deeside. This is the ideal place to while away the hours in comfort, elegance and luxury. Take a walk along the banks of the River Dee, savouring the tranquil beauty of the countryside.
