Aberdeen airport has a really short runway. Really short. Still, ryanair got me there in one piece. There was snow on the roads as we flew in over Aberdeen – which was pretty much what I was expecting (and hoping for) from Scotland.
I feel slightly ashamed to admit that it’s my first trip to Scotland, but I’m quite sure it’ll not be the last – very scenic outdoorsy kinda country. I like it!
So, Mhairi and her father (Ian) and brother (Gavin) and his girlfriend (Jen) picked me up from the airport, and we drove to their cottage in Braemar (via stopping off for lunch)

Really really pretty drive up into Braemar.. saw the gates (and turrets) of Balmoral – which is the queens getaway when she’s up this way.
That evening there were songs sung and music played. Mhairis Aunt Katie is really incredible on the piano – can pick up any old song and play it. Also had musical Christmas crackers to add to the mixture.
