Ballater is another one of those well-mannered towns Scotland has. The place is also known for its spring water. It is one of the best places in Scotland where you can enjoy local walks, hikes and outdoor activities. For a visitor to the burgh, the popular Loch Muick as well as the mountain Lochnagar are close at hand.

History says that owing to its natural beauty, even Queen Victoria first arrived at Ballater when she visited Deeside. Situated near by, is the Balmoral Castle (a ten-minute drive from the village) which served as the British Royal Family's Holiday Home.
