Fodor's Expert Review Auld Kirk

Braemar Rd., Ballater, Aberdeenshire, AB35 5RQ, Scotland

This simply renovated old church, with some interesting architectural features preserved in its public areas, is a comfortable enough base for a night or two in Ballater. The residents-only lounge bar is a cozy sanctum, serving a wide range of malt whiskies. Tables are set outside for summer evenings.
