Welcome to Braemar Highland Safaris website ....... Braemar Highland Safaris can show you another Scotland, the real Scotland......... Braemar, an ancient capital of the Scottish kingdom of Dalriada, and the surrounding area has been the playground of Kings and Noblemen for centuries. They were able to explore the natural beauty of the mountains from all angles, from their castles and hunting lodges in selected areas. There were sheilings, signs of which are still visible today, used by the crofters to graze their cattle in the summer months in the higher area. In secluded areas they made their illicit whisky. The modern visitors, unless they are hill walkers, normally see the the area from the bottom of the valley. They probably cannot imagine the beauty as seen by the birds flying high above.Now with the aid of BRAEMAR HIGHLAND SAFARIS the visitor too can venture into the heart of the mountains to enjoy the picturesque landscapes of mountains and lochs, see the wildlife and the plants which make the area so beautiful and interesting. Travel in a 4X4 vehicle along some of the tracks which were used by the drovers taking their cattle to market towns in central Scotland. Learn from your guide the history, customs and folklore of the past. He can can also tell you something of the land management of the present time. Binoculars are available in the vehicle. |
