Braemar is a Highland Village some 58 miles west from Aberdeen and situated at the junction of three beautiful valleys. Through these valleys run the rivers Clunie and Dee. The river Dee is one of Scotland's great salmon rivers and it runs through glorious scenery on its way past Braemar Castle and on the way to Balmoral Castle and giving the area its name of Royal Deeside.

Above the valleys rise some of Scotland's highest mountains. Within a short distance there are some 20 or so Munro's - hills with peaks over 3000' - and Braemar is the starting point for those wishing to 'bag' (climb) Ben McDhui, the second highest mountain in the UK.

To the south of Braemar village, Glenshee Ski Centre, Scotland's largest such centre, is only 8 miles away.
Fishing, stalking and pony trekking can be arranged locally and must be pre-booked.
Well situated for all these activities you will have a comfortable stay in our delightful cottage.
