Motorhome Stopovers in Ballater

Ballater is a well-known village in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, sitting on the River Dee within the Cairngorms National Park. The A93 runs through the village — the main road that links Braemar to the west with Banchory and Aberdeen to the east — making Ballater a natural stop on any Deeside touring route. Balmoral Castle is just a few miles up the road, and the village itself has a good range of shops and services for motorhomers stocking up.
