Morrone Cottage, |
|||
Morrone Cottage is a beautiful
highland cottage standing in its own secluded gardens with easy access ( about 7 mins walk ) to the village of Braemar in the Scottish Highlands. It faces due south and
has double glazed windows looking out on magnificent views of the surrounding
mountains. Walks lead directly from our private back gate to the moors and
hills, or down to the river Dee. Close by are Balmoral Castle, Ballater and, of course, the Cairngorms. Braemar is excellently situated as a base for hill
walking, golf ( 18-hole golf course), touring, skiing, fishing or simply a
peaceful holiday at any time of the year. |

Dancers at the Braemar Gathering |
The award winning village
of Braemar, with a population of approximately 500
is world famous for its Highland Gathering.Braemar
lies near the junction of the Rivers Dee and Clunie
at 1100 feet, surrounded by magnificent scenery, through which there are
wonderful walks. The climate is good, although conditions can be severe in
winter. Summer is often hot and dry and it is also often fine in autumn when
the colours are most beautiful. The tops of the high Cairngorms can be
directly seen from Morrone and you walk out onto
the moor from our private back gate! Often these tops carry snow well into
the summer. Braemar holds the record for the lowest
temperature recorded in Britain in recent years -27.8 C. There is skiing in
nearby Glenshee and relaxed golf on the beautifully
picturesque 18 hole Braemar golf course. |
