  • Aberdeen City Guide, Including Aberdeen Hotels  By : Ms Maria Williams
    Introduction: Aberdeen, in the heart of Scotland’s Grampian Highlands, is an ideal destination for art, history and culture that is slightly off the beaten track. Scotland’s third largest city was inspiration for the well known Scottish folk song The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen which portrays a well worn Scottish theme: that of extreme homesickness when away from my “home native land” and celebrates the spectacular phenomenon of Aurora Borealis.

    I spent part of my honeymoon there, and had to conclude it must be one of the best European honeymoon destinations possible. You don’t need to be on your honeymoon, taking your wife, or partner on a romantic vacation to Scotland , you need look no further than Inverlochy castle.

    You wouldn’t want to be staying here if you were looking for a cheap honeymoon destination that’s for sure, but having said that, if you get the chance to stay at Inverlochy Castle, then take it.

    Animals all around were preparing their nests for new siblings and a busy summer. The echoes of songbirds and their merry tunes sang throughout the valley; the season of courtship was upon us.

    A crisp breeze was a ...
