Braemar 

The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the area 
around Braemar. The paths proposed within this area have been chosen as they best 
fit with the objectives of the Core Paths Plan and have been identified during the 
consultation process. Many of the paths selected were put in place by the Upper 
Deeside Access Trust in conjunction with the local community and local land managers. 
These paths are popular with both the community and visitors. They cater for a range 
of activities and help land managers to manage access on their land. The two new 
paths proposed (UDE9 and UDE14) should help to establish more wheelchair and 
pushchair friendly paths near to the village. 

There is much support for a new bridge over the River Dee and also an off-road link 
between the Queen’s Drive and the Old Brig O’Dee at the Keiloch. It is anticipated, 
however, that this project cannot be completed within the two year timescale required 
(see Section 3.3 page 11) and as such they are not proposed as core paths at this time. 
The CNPA recognise the importance of these paths, however, and will continue to work 
with the community and local land managers on this project. If the projects can be 
delivered then they will be considered for core path status alongside all other paths 
when the Core Paths Plan is reviewed.
