Braemar and Linn of Dee

Braemar in Royal Deeside takes its name from the Gaelic Bràigh Mhàrr which refers to the area of upper Marr.

Duff House

Designed by William Adam, and built between 1735 and 1740, Duff house is thought to be one of Britain's finest Georgian houses. Nestled in the Deveron Valley, Duff House was built for William Duff of Braco, who became Earl Fife in 1759.
