About Aberdeen:
If you've got some time free to visit Aberdeen in the summer, the daylight hours seem endless and you can visit Highland Games (such as the Lonach Gathering, which is only an hour from the city and has been frequented by Hollywood stars such as Dame Judi Dench, Eddie Izzard, Robin Williams as well as caber-tossing strongmen and Highland dancers).
All year round gems in the city of Aberdeen include:
- The new Donald Trump golf course
- Aberdeen's stunning old town and university
- The city's magnificent Georgian art gallery
- The recently opened Nick Nairn cook school
Within one hour's drive of The Chester Hotel:
- Whisky, with dozens of world-class distilleries on the doorstep
- Royal Deeside and Balmoral
- Walking in the Cairngorms
- World-class fishing
- Dozens of fairy tale castles, such as Crathes, Fyvie and Dunnotar
- Astonishingly, this season, the skiing at Glenshee has been good enough to rival Alpine destinations thanks to a hefty and prolonged dump of snow.
