点评:When you are in Royal Deeside the destination of choice is always going to be Balmoral and rightly so with its royal connections from Queen Victoria through to the reigning sovereign but half-a-mile outside Braemar sits the wonderful Braemar Castle which has a fantastic role at the heart of Scottish History from the Jacobite rebellion to the present day. Recently renovated, it is run by enthusiastic, knowledgeable volunteers who bring the castles position, status and history wonderfully to life. If I asked you what do the following have in common, Salvador Dali, Shocking Pink, Clan Gatherings and the Jacobite rebellion from 1715 to 1745, I would challenge you to say, Braemar Castle.
It is so easy to photograph from the roadside on your way east (downstream) on Royal Deeside that is equally easy just to ignore and move on. Don't! This is the Cullinan Diamond of hidden gems. I won't spoil it further but don't 'walk on by'. This is an hour of your life that will stay with you for a long time. And pay the extra bob or two for a guided tour. Worth every penny and more.
翻译:当您在皇家迪赛德时,首选目的地永远是巴尔莫勒尔宫,这理所当然,因为它与从维多利亚女王到在位君主的皇室渊源颇深。但在布雷马半英里外,坐落着宏伟的布雷马城堡,从詹姆斯党叛乱到现在,它在苏格兰历史中扮演着重要角色。城堡最近经过翻修,由热情、知识渊博的志愿者管理,他们生动地展现了城堡的地位、地位和历史。如果我问您萨尔瓦多达利、Shocking Pink、Clan Gatherings 和 1715 年至 1745 年的詹姆斯党叛乱有什么共同之处,我敢说,都是布雷马城堡。
在皇家迪赛德向东(下游)行驶时,很容易在路边拍照,但也同样容易被忽略并继续前行。千万别!这是隐藏宝石中的库里南钻石。我不会进一步剧透,但请不要“错过”。这将会是你人生中一个难忘的时刻。多花一两便士参加导览游,绝对物超所值。
