you can stay in Dinnet and start a hike from there through Muir of Dinnet, Loch Kinord, Burn o'vat, Campus o may and on to Ballater along Deeside. Highly recommended for bird watching, dragonflies, and a varied landscape - pine forests, lochs, heaths, pear bog and marsh, river side, and glacial geological features :)
