Braemar - Aberdeenshire
A town on River Clunie where it meets the River Dee. The Braemar Gathering which is the Highland Games is usually held here in September. The Braemar Castle dates from the 17 century.

I spent an excellent summer week on a few walks in and around Braemar, from 21st July to the 29th July. Steeped in history and Royal connections, Braemar on Royal Deeside was always noted in my destination diary and I'm sorry it took me so long to get around to it. Although the walking is plentiful, certainly too much for documenting on this website, I have, however, picked a few one day walks that I am sure will interest you.
