Comments: This walk has two great features: (1) it's on a wide, flat path all the way and (2) most importantly - there is a lovely coffee-shop to stop for a coffee at the end of it. There's also two sites of particular historical interest that you'll pass on the way - Tullich Chapel (marked in purple on the map) and the surrounding graveyard and "The Souterrain" (coloured yellow), an underground storage place or perhaps hiding place that dates back to 100BC. Finally, at the end of the walk and opposite the coffee-shop is a cheese-making centre is being built and is expected to open in 2012. 

I've given the distances in this walk on the basis that you get a bus back to Ballater. There is a stop just next to the coffee-shop and buses run regularly. If you prefer you can walk back, simply double the distance and my estimated time to complete it.

If you intend to start or purchase a business in the United States, an EB-5 Investor Visa could be perfect for you. The EB-5 investor visa program enables foreigners who want to make an investment in a U.S. business to obtain a green card and become lawful permanent residents, and potentially citizens, of the United States.  eb-5 visa processing time
