Old travel Blog photograph of the road through Gairn valley to Ballater, Royal Deeside, Scotland. There have been Highland Games held in Ballater since 1864. Balmoral Castle, the British Royal Family's holiday home is located close Ballater and the family has visited the town frequently since the time of Queen Victoria. Ballater railway station was closed in 1966. Ballater is a centre for tourism in Royal Deeside. I hope these might be of interest to folks with Scottish ancestry.
