What a wonderful trip, Matt. As the Vice President of Clan Farquharson I would be interested in meeting your group in Braemar, where the Clan Chief's seat (Invercauld House is situated), and perhaps arranging a tour round our ancestral castle, Braemar Castle. Unfortunately Invercauld House is leased out to a private owner and a visit would not be possible. Might I also suggest a stop at the village of Ballater, just 16 miles towards Aberdeen, as this has the various shops that hold the Royal Warrant and who supply the Queen at Balmoral Castle.

I would also be pleased to help in any other way I can.
