Following our evening in York, we set off the next morning to head to Scotland. We stopped at the garden centre at Berwick-Upon-Tweed just south of the Scottish border to meet up with Miss T's previous RDA horse-riding instructor. She'd moved to Scotland during the pandemic and we never got a chance to say goodbye when she left. So it was really great to see her and to catch up.
After a spot of lunch at the garden centre, we pressed on as we were keen to reach our destination of Braemar before dark.

| Crossing the Forth Bridge |
 |
| We were excited to see a few patches of snow as we got closer to Braemar |
 |
| And then it got snowier! |
 |
| and snowier! |
 |
| We reached a snowy Braemar and decided to get Fish and Chips for dinner (and a veggie burger for me) |
 |
| The moon looked stunningly beautiful against the dark sky but we couldn't capture it well on our phone cameras |
 |
| The next morning, we got to go out in the snow |
 |
| We hadn't expected there to be snow so it was definitely a bonus making everywhere look stunning |
 |
| We stayed in a converted Victorian church |
 |
| Miss T's joy at seeing the snow |
 |
| Braemar castle was closed to visitors when we were there but it still looks beautiful to look at. |
 |
| The castle was in the process of being refurbished - It looks like it is straight out of a fairytale |
