Abergeldie Castle (12 of 12)
I met my future wife at a cocktail party in Aberdeen, when I was still an army officer.  For our first date, I took her for a walk up Lochnagar on a glorious August summer day not unlike this.  It was important to establish her mountaineering credentials as early as possible!  Curiously, we discovered during the walk that I had known her elder sister eight years earlier, when she had worked as a matron at the school in England my father was headmaster of!
