This peacefully located property is overlooking the River Dee with wildlife on the doorstep.. Overlooking the gentle meandering bends of the River Dee where wild red deer roam, this former taxidermist’s workshop and cottage has been completely rebuilt under the ‘Mar Estate Golden Jubilee Project’. After lapsing into dereliction, this magnificently appointed property has been restored to its original 1884 timber construction, taking into account every last detail. Further enhanced by the addition of modern day facilities, it stands as a real gem of a holiday home, amidst spectacular scenery. The village is home to the annual Highland Games, the Braemar Gathering. Games were first held here in the 11th century, when contests were set for the local clans in order to pick the bravest and strongest for Malcolm Canmore’s army. Perth is little over an hour’s drive away, as is the beautiful granite city of Aberdeen. Shops 3 miles.. Ground Floor:
Living room: Freeview TV
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, Washing Machine
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed

We had a great holiday in this quiet out of the way cottage ,hearing running water from the river Dee and birdsong. Walks from the door are great on the Market Estate. The only thing we missed was good size breakfast bowls to have our Scottish porridge in!
