Balmoral Castle Royal Deeside Aberdeenshire Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of Balmoral Castle on visit to Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire. King Robert II of Scotland, 1316 to 1390, had a hunting lodge in the area. A house at Balmoral was built by Sir William Drummond in 1390. The castle has been the Scottish home of the Royal Family since it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852, having been first leased in 1848.
Things to do in Fort William
Undoubtedly Fort William is famed mostly as being the starting off point to climb Britain's highest mountain (1,345 m) Ben Nevis. But there are so other things to do in Fort William as well.
Going up the Ben can be a great day out especially when the weather is fine and the views of the surrounding mountains, sea lochs and glens are clearly in view.
This apart there are some other nice trips to be found in the area. Taking in Neptune's Staircase which is the start of the Caledonian Canal which leads to Loch Ness and Inverness town.
Or perhaps you might like to take a ride up on the mountain gondola to the neighbouring mountain of Aonach Mor. Whether you want to just enjoy the trip and take in the views or partake in some skiing or snow boarding, you’re sure to enjoy it.
A little further south there is the Corran Ferry that takes you across Loch Linnhe to Ardgour. This will allow you to explore a whole new area which you may well have passed many times on your route up north.
Take a trip on the stunning train trip and visit Mallaig which is still a working fishing port with its own little museum which explains the local story very well.
Perhaps even book yourselves and the kids on the Jacobite steam train they will love it as it travels over the Glenfinnan viaduct of Harry Potter fame.
The West Highland Museum could be a great place to visit if you want to learn a little more about the Jacobite's and Bonnie Prince Charlie.
There are other interesting topics to uncover in the museum even discovering how the local life functions around this area will entertain you. If you are in the Fort william area for a few days then this is one that you could tick off if the weather was not so good.

Places to see in ( Aberdeen - UK )
Aberdeen is a port city in northeast Scotland, where the Dee and Don rivers meet the North Sea. With an offshore petroleum industry, the city is home to an international population. It's also known as the ‘Granite City’ for its many enduring grey-stone buildings. The 19th-century Marischal College is typical – a monumental Victorian landmark that’s now headquarters of the City Council.
Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 37th most populous built-up area. Nicknames include the Granite City, the Grey City and the Silver City with the Golden Sands. During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen's buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, which can sparkle like silver because of its high mica content.
Aberdeen received Royal Burgh status from David I of Scotland (1124–53), transforming the city economically. The city's two universities, the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and Robert Gordon University, which was awarded university status in 1992, make Aberdeen the educational centre of the north-east of Scotland. The traditional industries of fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding, and textiles have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen's seaport. Aberdeen Heliport is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world and the seaport is the largest in the north-east of Scotland.
Aberdeen has won the Britain in Bloom competition a record-breaking ten times, and hosts the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, a major international event which attracts up to 1000 of the most talented young performing arts companies. In 2015, Mercer named Aberdeen the 57th most liveable city in the world, as well as the fourth most liveable city in Britain. In 2012, HSBC named Aberdeen as a leading business hub and one of eight 'super cities' spearheading the UK's economy, marking it as the only city in Scotland to receive this accolade.
Aberdeen Airport (ABZ), at Dyce in the north of the city, serves domestic and international destinations. The Dee Estuary, Aberdeen's harbour, has continually been improved. Starting out as a fishing port. Aberdeen is connected to the UK National Cycle Network, and has a track to the south connecting to cities such as Dundee and Edinburgh.

Aboyne Golf Club, Royal Deeside
Set amidst the scenic splendour of Royal Deeside, Aboyne Golf Club can fairly claim to have some of the finest vistas and panoramas of any course in Scotland.
The course provides a fine test for golfers of all abilities. It presents a rich variety of memorable holes making the most of the natural variations in the terrain which is a mix of rolling parkland with inviting fairways and elevated links-like heathland with tighter targets. Mature trees and water are in play on many holes, with the Loch of Aboyne being a notable feature.
