Trip to Delgatie

We left Aberdeen heading to Turriff and Delgatie...we stopped along the way at Fyvie And looked around a old church and cemetery ...thinking to go see Fyvie Castle it was however closed on thursdays note the snow....then continued on to Turriff deciding to do some shopping for supplies .....but lunch first White Heather Hotel looked good....it was a tiny pub with two older gents holding up the bar Ha! They said the bartender would be right out...we had a nice chat while waiting ..the owner/barman came out and handed us a menu not much on it but we were hungry so ordered some fish and fries.....back to chatting with the men learning all about the Turra Coo...how the coo was taken from the owner to pay taxes and then it need up in Aberdeen being bought back by the towns people who sided with the Coo owner and brought it back to him...the bar owner pulled out some old books to read while havering our lunch, then wrote out the best places to see around Banff which we will do tomorrow...maybe stopping on the way back for a pint of Guinness ....they were happy to pose for the picture. See also the Coo.... It was pouring rain when we came out, sheets of rain but didn't last long. Shopping done headed to Delgatie ...where we are settled nicely into our accommodation..after a couple of chats with Joan and her delivery of 4 large scones butter and jam which we ate in no time ..we then took a walk down to the trout pond stopping along the way to pet the ponds...sweet Shetland ponies 4 of them all coming to greet us as we walked...tomorrow we will take them some apples.its tomorrow we fed the ponies so cute....Internet is only at the coach house so we are sitting here to send the blog
