Delightful Deeside

Just back from 4 days in Deeside, staying at an old coaching inn, between Crathie and Braemar.  The weather was absolutely fantastic.  Hired bikes one day and cycled part of the Deeside Way, stopping for a picnic lunch by the banks of the river.
Also did a spot of genealogy, while we were there.  My grandfathers generation back to pre-1700 are from the Braemar area.  Found my great-grandfathers grave in the local cemetry.  Also found the mill house where my great-great-great-great-grandfather and great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather lived back in th 16th century.
