Glen Callater

One of the most attractive access points into the eastern Cairngorms, this beautiful meandering glen is ideal for both walking and biking. Ending at a mountain loch surrounded by steep cliffs, the glen is home to many unusual plants, like the tiny woolly willow, which, at a few centimetres high, is one of Scotland's smallest shrubs.

Location
2 miles, 3 km (2mins) south of Braemar, on the A93.
