Braemar village lies at the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains, and in the Cairngorms National Park. It's location at the confluence of the glens has assured it's place in history, it was in Braemar that the standard was raised during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. For walkers Braemar has 24 mountains over 3000 feet (munros) of which 3 are over 4000 feet. We also have several low level picturesque walks for all abilities in the surrounding area. Balmoral Castle, the Queens summer residence and major visitor attraction is just 8 miles away and with the community owned Braemar Castle 1 mile away, you come to realise why Braemar is such a popular destination for people from around the world. We have the highest 18 hole golf course in the UK surrounded by mountains with the river Clunie wending its way through the course. The relaxing yet challenging setting is open from April to October and after a round why not enjoy a drink or meal in the welcoming clubhouse looking out over the 1st fairway. There are other courses in the area including Ballater, Aboyne and Inchmarlo. For whisky lovers there is the Royal Lochnagar distillery, one of the smallest working distilleries.
