Just added and album with photos of the Royal Deeside Railway (the preserved bit).

http://www.deeside-railway.co.uk/index.php for more details of the railway.

And.... http://www.royal-deeside.org.uk/RDattract/station.htm for a wee write up about the station at Ballater - next stop Balmoral!!

Definitely worth anyone reading up about this railway which has seen everyone from Tsars of Russia to Kings & Queens of Europe using it.

Interesting visitor centre at Ballater station which has a cameo of the arrival of Queen Victoria on the platform etc.

The station cafe next door to the visitor centre is to be recommended to anyone planning a visit.
