Revisiting Old Haunts
On Friday 4 July I was up in Blairgowrie, Glenshee,Braemar and Ballater. The weather was incredible, sunshine, blue skies and hot! So hot it was hazy. The countryside was looking great. The contrast of the heather with the Scots Pines very special.
This is a part of the world that I love having spent some happy holidays there. First attempts to ski in Glenshee-no blue skies and sunshine then I am afraid-only cold and wet and I managed to ski over the the road in front of a lorry. Also recalling fabulous meals at the Green Inn in Ballater which I see is in the Michelin guide. No visits to the Green Inn on this occasion, no time and it has changed hands since I was there last, but the menu and the whole place look very inviting. If you do decide to go the Green Inn, it is only open in the evenings. On Friday, to refuel, I had a relaxing picnic lunch in a quiet spot in Braemar listening to the birds and with a rabbit as my lunch companion. I returned over the Cairnamount Road coming back the fast way down the coast via Dundee back to Edinburgh. Scotland at its very very best. Does the soul good.
What places in Scotland hold happy memories for you? Go visit them and enjoy them this summer. You and Scotland deserve it.
