The station of Ballater, which has been closed down since 1966, houses a museum. This shows, among other things, the waiting room of Queen Victoria, who used the train station Ballater on the journey to Balmoral Castle. Much of the station fell victim to a fire in May 2015. The museum was only partially affected. [3]
Balmoral Castle, which is still inhabited by the royal family in the summer, is about 14 km to the west and gives the area the name "Royal Deeside". Two miles south of Ballater is Birkhall, an estate that is temporarily occupied by Prince Charles.
The Blue Cairn Circle (also called Balronald Wood) is a Recumbent Stone Circle (RSC) at Ballater.

A good small village with plenty of small shops and cafes. Large parking area, and bike hire shop too.
