Hotel accommodation near Braemar |
| Built as a private home for Col Ogston in 1900 the house was converted to hotel use in 1956, firstly as a seasonal shooting and fishing lodge and then with the provision of all modern facilities in 1978 to the present day first class hotel. The house has however retained its original turn of the century interior and feels very much still a traditional North East of Scotland Baronial Home. Its magnificent location overlooking the ruins of the original 13th century castle and the renowned Kildrummy Castle gardens, with acres of planted gardens and woodland, provide a haven of peace and tranquility from where you can explore the treasures of the Grampian Highlands. |
