Spittal of Glenshee Aparthotel

Picture
The Spittal of Glenshee is set in a glen, with breathtaking scenery, wherever your eye travels. The Glens and Royal Deeside have a backdrop of the Cairngorm Mountains. Glenshee is a little off the beaten track but there is motorway access. It is a good place to use as a base for exploring the east of Scotland. Glenshee offers skiing in winter, good walking, hiking, hill climbing, shooting, country walks, fishing and more. There is good golfing within a mile of Glenshee. Glamis Castle, which was home to the Queen Mother, at one time, is within easy reach.  Review here
