DIRECTIONS 

From Ballater direction turn right onto the main road through Braemar. The police station is on the 
right side of the road and the village hall is directly opposite on the left side. 

From Perth/Dundee/Blairgowrie direction drive into village past the Fife Arms Hotel. The police 
station is on the left side and the village hall is directly opposite on the right hand side. 

The village hall does not have its own car park so you will have to park on the road outside.
