A spring morning in April is an excellent time to visit Dunottar Castle on the north East Coast of Scotland, The daffodils are coming up and spring is in the air. At 5.18am the sun is breaking over the horizon. There is nowhere to gat a coffee and a bacon sandwich unless you drive south to Montrose and the Greggs the bakers opens at 7am. Bring a flask as the breeze of the north sea is bloody freezing in April, The Castle doesn't open until 10am, Built in the 1400's it played a major role in the Jacobite uprisings of the 1715 and 1745.

Macdonald Aviemore Woodland Lodges

Aviemore

" I booked 3 lodges for family and friends for my daughter’s 40th birthday. We all loved our stay, despite the weather. The lodges were clean, comfortable and very spacious. Grandchildren had a brilliant time with the outdoor space, swimming & dry sledging. Would have loved more time but we will certainly be back as there is so much we haven’t done. Local people & shop staff were very helpful and friendly."

Leonardo Hotel and Conference Venue Aberdeen Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room with comfy beds, excellent breakfast"

Station Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Station Hotel was a lovely alternative to chain hotels (that lack character and are all the same). The Station Hotel was right by the station, which was great after a long train journey up, the building had traditional character and was tastefully decorated. Staff were genuine, friendly and helpful. The room was tasteful, comfortable, clean. Thanks for the stay. "
