After leaving Aberdeen we visited Huntly Castle which dates back to the 12 th century. A very interesting ruin with the “best” prison cell (a deep hole) and many an interesting carving on the walls (including Wyverns, which Game of Throne fans will recognise as the type of dragon that featured). We had an excellent tasting tour at the Glenallachie Distillery and a Whisky Tasting by the fire at the Glenfiddich Distillery. The Linn Falls were looking stunning. Some Highland Cows came to say “hello” which made everyone’s day.

Winter can be a great time to visit Scotland Did you know Aberdeenshire is famous for its blue-sky winter days? Also, for those who are interested in their photography, we get some amazing low winter light. On one of our tours last week, we travelled up Royal Deeside to Balmoral Castle (the famous Scottish Residence of the Royal Family). We then tasted whisky at The Royal Lochnagar Whisky Distillery and saw the mountain called Lochnagar, where the pure water used by the distillery has its source. The world famous Dunnottar Castle was looking imperious whilst bathed in low winter sun. With 2000 years of history behind it, and the most impregnable of settings, if you only see one castle, see Dunnottar. For more information about tours please visit www.timeexposure.travel .

On a recent tour to Dunnottar Castle we met Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Hafthor Bjornsson) aka Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane in the HBO series, Game of Thrones and one of world’s strongest men. Dunnottar Castle, which was famously attacked by William Wallace (Braveheart) to take it back into Scottish hands in the 13 th Century and would have made an ideal location to film Game of Thrones.

Another great tour today and the autumnal colours on Royal Deeside were stunning. We visited Balmoral Castle after Crathie Church and then lunch was in the world famous Fife Arms Hotel in beautiful Braemar. After lunch it was a Tasting Tour at the Royal Lochnagar Whisky Distillery. We recommend the 25 year old. Some Highland Cows came to say hello as well.
