The area around Royal Deeside has some great scenery, mixing the mountains of the Grampians and Cairngorms with the salmon river of the Dee and the Don.
The area includes Royal Balmoral and there were a few ceremonies taking place during the week, including a special plaque being unveiled by the Duke of Edinburgh commemorating Brunel's bridge outside the Balmoral Estate and also a separate visit of the Duke to Ballater. We seem to be seeing a lot of the Royals recently.
I can't be sure, but we did seem to get RAF jet flypasts at certain times and I did wonder if it was linked with the ceremonies or just co-incidence. The RAF Tornadoes are based at Lossimouth on the coast and seemed to be able to fly almost silently or with an earth shattering amount of noise at very low altitudes tracking the many valleys of the area.
