Weekend Trip to Fernlea - Campsite & Pod

Staying at Bruce’s house was an absolute pleasure! He was so incredibly helpful and kind and the pod is perfect. I would live there for the rest of my life if I could! The kitchen is great. The hot tub is beyond belief and so good that it’s almost intoxicating. When my boyfriend and I accidentally reset the Internet, Bruce was beyond kind and helpful. Next time I’m in this area I will for sure Be staying here again.

2 nights at Pirnie Lodge Farm

From the minute we arrived Anne was welcoming and gave us all the information to do with the lodge, the lodge itself was spotless and felt homely from the minute we walked in. Anne also left a welcome pack which was an added bonus, the hot tub was ready on arrival and Anne also shown us how to use this before leaving Anne gave us recommendations on places to visit and where we could go for days out, we were recommended the milk barn which was delicious, the ice cream and milkshakes were perfect! We would also recommend going there! Thank you Anne, we love our stays

Where to go

Around Braemar

Sights around the village include the 17th-century Braemar Castle and Morrone Birkwood National Nature Reserve, a magical landscape of juniper and birch. Braemar also has a thriving cultural scene, which you can experience at the community hall and Braemar Gallery. Pitches for tents and tourers, as well as a handful of glamping pods, are available at Braemar Caravan Park.

Glenshee

The rugged landscapes of Glenshee appeal to hillwalkers, mountain climbers and anglers. A 15-minute drive south of Braemar, Glenshee Ski Centre has extensive skiing and snowboarding facilities, with the largest lift system in Britain and 36 runs. South of the ski centre, Glenshee Glamping has tent pitches, as well as a selection of pods, cabins and huts.

Lochnagar

The mountain of Lochnagar stands 2,200 feet (71 metres) and is popular with walkers, climbers and mountaineers all year round. The clearly marked path to the summit is around 12 miles (19 kilometres) long and begins around a 35-minute drive from Braemar.

When to go

The most popular time to visit Braemar is in summer, especially on the first Saturday in September when the village hosts the world-famous annual Braemar Gathering and Highland Games, which is regularly attended by the Royal Family and features the best pipers and Highland dancers and athletes. If hoping to attend, be sure to make arrangements far in advance. Winter visitors should bear in mind that, in winter, Braemar is one of the coldest places in the country.

Know before you go

Some sites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
Wild camping is legal in Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Biting midges are a common nuisance during Highland summers. Don’t forget to pack repellant and long sleeves.
While it is possible to reach Braemar by public bus, it is time consuming. Having your own transport is preferable.
