Commentary.

Like Braemar, Ballater is a traditional Highland town in the Cairngorms National Park.
These “Royal” towns are notable for their pink and grey granite-stone Victorian cottages with dormer windows.
Ballater is smitten with Royal Crests signifying that the Royal Family frequent the retail establishment.
They range from butcher, baker and candle-stick maker to
Outdoor and Rural Supply shops.
Balmoral Castle is only a few miles west of Ballater.
As in this image the town enjoys several green, open spaces
and the River Dee flows south and then east, at the eastern end of the town, under yet another sturdy, arched, granite bridge.
Coniferous forests smother most of the encircling hills.
Of particular interest is the Victorian railway station.
Built to last and re-painted regularly it must look little different
from when Queen Victoria visited.
The Deeside towns have a well-kept and ageless dignity,
that is hard not to admire.
