Travel Tips

Their is loads to see in Aberdeen, if you go to the Torry side of the beach (the harbour and river Dee estuary) you can see dolphins and if you go to the river Don estuary you usually see seals! There's great shopping centres, theatre etc. If you like the countryside try going to Bridge of Feuch (you can see salmon jumping), Banchory is a nice little village, also Ballater and Braemar (where the highland games are held is lovely) There are numerous castles Drum, Crathes and Balmoral to name a few, which you can go into. If you want to go further afield try Aviemore and Loch Garten you can see Osprey's there from April till September, you can also see these at The Loch Of the Lowes down near Perth, there is some beautiful scenery down there and Pitlochry is a lovely little town with a fish ladder at the hydro. Ther's so much to do here I could go on forever! I lived in England for 14 years but moved back here 3 years ago with my husband and kids. I have family here and the quality of life is so much better. Hope you enjoy your visit!
