Abergeldie Castle (1)
Now here's a beautiful Scottish tower-house in the midst of some beautiful Scottish scenery.  Abergeldie stands on the south bank of the River Dee, two miles downstream from Balmoral Castle, watched over by the brooding bulk of Lochnagar, which (as it often does) appears to still retain some patches of last winter's snow on this early August summer day.  (Or maybe it's just wet rock!)

Abergeldie is a bit over 4 miles west of Ballater, 9 miles east of Braemar and 40 miles west of Aberdeen.
