Potarch Bridge
B993Great wee spot for a coffee (best in the area by a long shot!) and bite to eat. If the cafe is closed and the weather is good then take some time out to walk down by the water, it's beautiful :D
A superb wee farm-shop out in the sticks... beautiful sticks at that. Overlooking Clachnaben this is a must stop if out exploring the Royal Deeside area. The shop has loads of great local produce, a fantastic cafe and gift shop.

A loch surrounded by hills and Munro's a stones throw from Ballater. If you are feeling like heading up Lochnagar give yourself a good amount of time. It's a big yin.

Wow! Stunning location. The bridge spans between a tight gorge with a number of pools, when on the right day can be a great place to swim. Super photogenic surrounds by the great Scots Pine and roaming deer. The parking leads onto a multitude of different walks ranging in length and grade.

Located south of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire which is a 30mins bus ride - 20mins train ride from Aberdeen city. This is definitely one of the most dramatic castles in Scotland. Worth the trip for the picture alone ;D

A great place to get some traditional Scottish pub grub located at the heart of Stonehaven's harbour. On a nice day grab a drink and sit down by the waters edge. Also a worthwhile stop after a nice walk to Dunnottar Castle.
