Mar Lodge, near Braemar

I myself did not go, my son went deer stalking. These are his photos.

Mar Lodge is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is situated near Braemar (where Highland Games take place), in the Caerngorms National Park.  Amongst this Highland landscape there are remnants of the ancient caledonian pine forest, heather moorland, juniper scrub and part of the highland cairngorm plateau. 

The Estate offers accommodation to those wishing to take part in shooting, stalking, fishing, walking - really is a beautiful place. 

To quote the marlodge website - "Long term conservation is a priority - in particular the regeneration of Caledonian pinewood by reducing the damage caused by grazing red deer.  Elsewhere you will see evidence of the Trust's pioneering work in mountain footpath repair, and the restoration of bulldozed hill tracks."
