The Old Military Road near Ballater

Taken on Tuesday when out cycling. The photo didn't turn out as lovely as the view actually was. I hate it when that happens. The reflections were brighter and Lochnagar at the end of the road was more obvious. However, this record of the view will have to suffice for today's post. Off to Midmar today with dad to check out his old stomping ground and visit my grandparent's grave. Hopefully I will get some photos from that even though the weather is a bit iffy.
Still looks lovely!

Nice road for a country walk.

...I would rather see the real thing, rather something that has been tarted up

all those puddles must make cycling this tough!

A beautiful place to cycle, you certainly have some lovely routes to walk & ride. No traffic & stunning views.

Not an easy bike ride through those puddles.

It looks as if the road goes on for ever! Beautiful setting. And I know what you mean about an image not recording the beauty that you saw.

A rough road to cycle on. I like the leading lines and vanishing point.

Love the ruts in the road! A beautiful scene.

Has a strong sense of place. And the name now has meaning for the royal train stop if I'm remembering correctly.

@taffy Absolutely. Ballater used to be the end of the train line for Queen Victoria's holidays to Balmoral Caste.
