Did you know you can visit @balmoral_castle in the Did you know you can visit @balmoral_castle in the winter for free? 👀 The grounds of the castle are open on specific days to the public, but the castle itself remains closed until the spring 🏰 Balmoral is located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, and it’s been the private residence of the British Royal Family since 1852. It’s also where Queen Elizabeth II passed away a few years ago 👑 It’s a very unique place to visit at any time of the year and it’s located less than 90 minutes from Aberdeen! 🚘 Have you been to Balmoral in Scotland yet? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Are you looking for a unique Scottish winter escap Are you looking for a unique Scottish winter escape in Aberdeen? 🤩 @aloftaberdeenteca is a beautiful modern hotel in Aberdeen, just a short drive from the airport. The rooms are very spacious and some offer a beautiful view of the countryside, which makes it nice to work from as well 🛌 Since the hotel is located further away from the city centre, I’d highly recommend dining at the hotel’s bar/restaurant where you can find lots of great dishes for affordable prices. Their breakfast is also a great option, especially if you’re catching a flight early in the morning ✈️ And if this doesn’t entice you to stay at @aloftaberdeenteca for a winter break, the hotel is also dog-friendly so you can bring your furry friend along with you! 🐶 Do you like to stay in modern hotels like this while travelling? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 • • • • • • • • • • #aloft #aloftaberdeen #aberdeenhotel #hotelreview #kristatheexplorer #traveltips #travel #travelblogger #prstay #marriotthotel #marriott #visitaberdeen #visitaberdeenshire #aberdeen #scotlandtravel #visitscotland #scotlandexplore #scotlandtrip #aberdeenteca
Should Aberdeen be considered the most underrated Should Aberdeen be considered the most underrated city in Scotland? 🤔 Although there aren’t as many things to do here as there are in places such as Edinburgh or Glasgow, you’ll still find some interesting points of interest around the city centre 👀 As one of the oldest cities in the UK, with a lot of interesting history to uncover, you can easily spend a day in the Granite City and not get bored 🤩 Make sure you stop by @aberdam.uk for budget friendly and tasty smash burgers too! 🍔 Have you been to Aberdeen in Scotland before? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 • • • • • • • • • • #aberdeen #visitaberdeen #aberdeenscotland #aberdeenshire #aberdeencity #visitscotland #scotlandexplore #explorescotland #myscotland #kristatheexplorer #smashburgers #travel #travelblogger #traveltips #historyblogger #historicplaces #travelmore
