But this is not this attractive village's only claim to fame. A popular Highland resort, Braemar enjoys a scenic location at the meeting point of three passes in Upper Deeside where the Clunie Water flowing north from the <A href="http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/braemar/cairnwell/index.html" minmax_bound="true">Cairnwell</A> joins the upper River Dee.
