Treasure hunt

Search for hidden treasure in Braemar. We’ll teach you to use the treasure map and compass to navigate your way round the clues.

On the way you’ll find out more about the history of our village, and about one of our famous residents from the past. Then the trail leads to Creag Choinnich Woods to learn more about the art of navigation.

Our treasure hunt is suitable for children aged 5 – 14 years old. This experience costs £180 per party.

Family walks

Uncover the mysteries of the forest and meet some of its wild inhabitants. Learn the secret stories about some of Scotland’s native plants and trees, as well as their past and present uses.

You’ll also discover how people lived and worked in the area in centuries gone by, explore the ruins of a remote village and learn about the lives of its inhabitants. With the extreme weather conditions and tricky terrain, how did they farm the land and build their homes? To finish off the trip, you’ll also make an ancient form of light, similar to one these inhabitants would have used.

We are fortunate to be able to use our 7-seater vehicle to facilitate through routes or transport you to the start of your walk.

Equally, we can also provide logistical support for your multi day treks or even bring in supplies, or a picnic complete with champagne, using a bike trailer.
