“Our driver/guide Jamie was fantastic! He is so knowledgeable about the area of Aberdeenshire. We passed through some very beautiful countryside, ample time at Balmoral, and even had extra time to stop at this beautiful Victorian bridge adjacent to the old railway that has been turned into a walking and cycling path. A great day!”
