BRAEMAR CASTLE

1 km north of Braemar stands this amazing keep flanked by turrets. Home of the Farquharson clan, it was built in 1628. It is filled with the collections accumulated by its owners. About fifteen rooms are visible and make this visit very complete and attractive. One discovers there in particular a ghost story or this anecdote about Stevenson: while he was on holiday in Braemar in the summer of 1881, 7 continuous weeks of rain shut him up in his office, offering us the first pages of Treasure Island.
