#CNBW18 VisitCairngorms
Visit Braemar shared Mar Lodge Estate's post.
This week has seen high water levels as spring has arrived and the snow is melting quickly. The Quoich alluvial fan is looking and sounding great with the arrival of many bird species for the breeding season. The channelling of the river since the flood in Dec 2015 has provided great habitat for birds.
Have you been Geocaching in the Braemar area..? 😀
As a Scottish proverb goes, “What may be done at any time will be done at no time.”
That must mean it’s time to geocache in Scotland!
Imagine discovering a unique wooden box outside a historic castle in the heart of Scotland. The stoic Braemar Castle was built in 1628 and originally served as a hunting lodge for deer, wolves, and wild boar.
The “Explore Royal Deeside GeoTour” surrounds you with picturesque castles, lush gardens, and plenty of ancestral and natural history. Find all 20 caches and you’ll earn a “mìorbhaileach” (Scottish Gaelic for “wonderful”) geocoin! coord.info/GT60
