Welcome to Braemar Scotland
 Braemar
is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, around 58 miles (93 km) west
of Aberdeen in the Highlands.
It is the highest and most mountainous parish in the UK, with each of
its 182,000 acres being more than 1000ft above sea level (the Post office,
in the village centre, is at 1110ft).
It is the closest significantly-sized settlement to the upper course of
the River Dee .
The area contains within its borders some 24 Munros, or mountains of
over 3,000ft, with three over 4,000ft. It is also the only parish in the
country to border with four of the old counties (Banffshire, Inverness-shire,
Perthshire and Angus). It has the highest 18-hole golf course in the country,
and shares with Perthshire the Cairnwell Pass, at 2,100ft the highest
through road in the country, which on the Braemar side passes through
the Glenshee Ski Centre.
For the visitor interested in wildlife, Braemar has long held great attractions.
There must be few villages where one can take an early morning walk along
the village main street and have a good chance of meeting, one after the
other, a magnificent 13 pointer stag, a shy roe deer, red squirrels stealing
nuts put out for the birds, a cock pheasant strutting in all his finery,
and a big brown hare timidly exploring the possibility of access to some
of the gardens, while overhead golden eagles and buzzards sail silent,
missing nothing.

Those of an energetic disposition can go walking, pony trekking, climbing,
mountain biking, hang-gliding, skiing, snow-boarding, golfing, putting
or bowling, while field sportsmen are spoiled for choice, having easy
access to stalking and shooting, as well as to brown trout and salmon
angling - there are a variety of stocked waters within easy reach. Discerning
motorists too, recognise that Braemar is an ideal centre for touring,
with a mix of major attractions easily within a day's return journey.
Devotees of Highland Games can, in September, accompany Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth to the great Braemar Gathering, reputedlyfounded in the 11th
Century by Malcolm Canmore, used as a front in 1715 by the Earl of Mar
to plan the first Jacobite Uprising, and which has been run in its present
form since 1832 by Braemar Royal Highland Society, the oldest surviving
Friendly Society in Scotland. It also sponsors the village Highland Dancing
Class, with weekly evening displays in summer, along with regular Sunday
afternoon Pipe Band displays in July and August.
For those who, like Queen Victoria, seek only to relax, Braemar's broad
acres and more than adequate variety of accommodation offer an unrivalled
opportunity to do so in the peace and beauty of Aberdeenshire's Highland
Parish.
