Gelder Shield Bothy on Balmoral

Hi All,

I am now aware that Gelder Shield Bothy on Balmoral is about to get a refurbishment both inside and outside over the weekend of 8,9,10th May.

It is also proposed to rename the Bothy -- Ernie's Bothy -- after late president of Ballater Charitable Chiels -- Ernie Rattray.

Hope the smell of fresh paint does not stop you sleeping!!!!

Keep walking.

Doug Bruce Braemar
