Braemar, a pretty and historic village surrounded by beautiful hills, is a wonderful place to celebrate that special occasion. Should you wish for a Grand Scottish Wedding complete with Highlands trappings or a quiet getaway to celebrate a wedding anniversary or other treasured event then Braemar has something to offer you.
Only eight miles from the royal Balmoral Castle the village of Braemar has some fine churches, excellent halls and quality shops. Add to that a range of accommodation ranging from large hotels through small hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast homes. There are also hostel accommodation, self-catering cottages and a camping and caravan park.
