Crathes Castle Our First Destination

Sunday 20th.. We checked out from Jury Inn Hotel in Aberdeen. Our own private tour started on this day... Aaron has finally completed his two weeks duties in his HQ here and he has extended one extra week to go round Scotland, taking the two "aunties" along.. he did some "homework" the night before and briefed the two "aunties" about the itinerary... (Both aunties just simply nodded our head... OK, OK, Let's go!)

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we left for "wherever" it takes us and he told us that from today onwards, we would be "homeless."  No booking of hotels whatever..... (sounds adventurous!)
With the GPS as our guide, our journey began....
First destination along the way, we arrived at the Crathes.... Castle....
where weddings are held.... 
 
tourist spot....
 
Lovely Landscaping...
In the Gardens...
 
And the Two Aunties here...
Shivering.....bbbrrrrrrr......
 
I need to cover my Cold Head too...
Quick... let's run to the cafe....
 
pheww.... can open up a bit here.... 
 
Better take a picture of this place
before I forget the name.. smart eh!
 
The Crathes Castel..

Ok, one more horizontally....
and that's it!
(Run fast fast to the car....)
To our next destination before night falls...

    It looks really cold there. I like reading about your trip to Scotland. Reminds me of my trip to Scotland 10 years ago.
