Donside.

One Glen further to the North is Donside, a much narrower Glen than Deeside and therefore the River Don, also terminating in Aberdeeen, has a much greater impact on the landscape.

Also known for it's fishing pools it is also home to Billy Connolly, the famous Scottish Comedian, and most of the accommodation here has fantastic views across the river.

Come in August and you will see the Lonach Highland Games, one of the more traditional Games in the area, where you can see the Lonach Highlanders in traditional Highland Dress marching down the Glen.

The Hotel shares this lovely viewpoint with the Sixteenth century ruins of the unfinished, Colquhonnie Castle and the Historic Lonach Hall, home of 'The Lonach Highlanders'. The hotel started life off as a Coaching Inn servicing the route from Deeside over the hills to the valley of the Spey.

Auld Cummerton is off the beaten track and nestles in the upper reaches of Royal Donside within its own woodland and enjoys magnificent views towards the mountains of Royal Deeside. Originally built in 1760, Carole and Bruce have recently restored the ruin to a very high standard with plenty of private parking and wildlife walks from the doorstep.
