Confucius, he say, “The man of wisdom delights in water; the man of humanity delights in mountains.”

 He ought to have gone on further to say, “... the man of checked trousers delights in 9 holes and a gin and tonic; the woman of the bathrobe delights in facials and a massage;  everyone delights in good food and a great night’s sleep”.

Confucius, he clearly not been to The LODGE on the Loch of Aboyne.  Shame that.  Just think what wisdom and clarity the stillness of the loch and the dignity of the mountains would have inspired within him. The hubbub of 500 BC Shantung  versus  the majestic Cairngorms reflected in the giant’s ink spill that is the Loch of Aboyne in the 21st century?  No contest.

Don’t be like Confucius and miss out.  Everyone needs to retreat and welcome the simple joys back into life.  There are few better places to do just that than at The LODGE on the Loch of Aboyne – 55 acres of the most breathtaking landscape on Royal Deeside.
