| Caption: | Banchory Dee Street Bellfield spring trees Kincardineshire Royal Deeside Scotlandview taken from the south after crossing the River Dee Bridge and approaching the main town of this first and largest Deeside town some 18 miles west of Aberdeen in North East Scotland. It is situated to the north of the River Dee. It has always been a main visitor centre either for day trippers from Aberdeen or the usual flow of coaches and other visitors heading from Aberdeen westwards to Braemar and from there south to Perth or north to Inverness. It is also offers a very scenic route southwards over the Cairn O’Mount to Mearns. Scolty Hill with its memorial tower is a distinctive landscape pointer to the town with easily accessible forest walks and a not too strenuous walk to its summits with pleasing views of much of Royal Deeside as well as interesting views to the north and south. In this view is the distinctive period house, now complex, of the Bellfield Nursing Home with a Chinese Restaurant under the glass canopy in the foreground by the main carpark exit and in the background the vibrant tree cover of the Captain's Wood. |
