This is a real treat place. Very high class hotel in Braemar. Owned by a Swiss art dealing couple so you can have afternoon tea under a Picasso and there’s a Lucien Freud in the lobby. Worth a visit for the art alone.

Bluebell Wood Loop
Nice easy walk and obviously best when the bluebells are out!
We’ll known for its annually returning ospreys, there are a few hides with scopes focussed on the osprey nest. Plenty of other birds to see as well.

Traveler advice
Getting around
You will really need a car
The nearest train stations are in Perth, (30 minutes away by car) and Dunkeld, (also about 30 minutes by car). Buses can take you to Perth and Dundee but are infrequent.
