Ballater

Few towns in Scotland have a history as closely connected to the royal estate at Balmoral as Ballater. Set beside the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, it lies in Royal Deeside on the eastern side of the Cairngorms National Park. Ballater’s growth as a Victorian resort accelerated after the railway arrived in 1866, bringing visitors and serving the nearby royal household. The restored railway station remains a reminder of that era, while the compact centre retains independent shops and places to eat. Walking and cycling routes lead from the Dee valley towards the park’s forests and moorland. Move on to other webcams in Scotland to compare Highland landscapes and settings around Royal Deeside.
