Fifer, now living in Aberdeen.
Sounds like a great route tomorrow…take the south deeside road rather than the North Deeside (A93) and it can get you all the way to Crathie without crossing the river.
(great wee cafe at Finzean Farm Shop)
But whatever way you go, ENJOY!
Will check that out thanks for this 
Aberdeen to Balmoral through Cairngorms to Inverness the scenery was beautiful and roads great even though a little wet at times , the pics really don’t show the Beauty , round trip to John O’Groats tomorrow
Tidy looking car

Haha too late for you Barrie 
Is that Coniston Water? Lovely…
Yes, a few years ago though.
Connecting + when allowed, meeting up.
Skye is dead as a doornail.
Hope you get lucky & find a coffee tbh.
At least…it was 2 weeks back.
I’d pack some vittles.
Not me, but my son was there with 2 mates CLEAN 
“wild camping”…but being ex Forces they took everything needed…and left no traces.
Thanks for the heads up will make a pack up from our digs 
Well it could be more inviting now…no idea TBH.
Best be prepared.
We visited Dunrobin castle last time we were in Scotland. On our exit I was excited to see a gathering of classic Jags in the car park, obviously a club run out. That delayed us leaving for a while whilst I had a good look over them.
It’s got a pretty dark history that place.
Duke of Sutherland was not Mr Popular in his day. Clearing crofters for sheep etc & siding with Cumberland.
Great place to visit though…that was then…this is now.
All part of it’s history.
Spent more time at Loch Ness than expected , especially Fort Augustus beautiful place , my wife was convinced she would spot Nessie with her binoculars but I think she missed something lol , just made it to digs on Skye great roads … @Scottishfiver most places seem open , even spotted a candle shop open, good job the boot is rammed
