LocationGlen Tanar is set amidst some of Scotland’s finest scenery
between Aboyne and Ballater on Royal Deeside. The Estate,
which extends to 25,000 acres, encompasses a wide variety
of terrain, ranging from the breathtaking summit of
Mount Keen (939m) through the Ancient Caledonian Forest
down to the picturesque Water of Tanar which flows into the
River Dee. There is wildlife in abundance - the magnificent
Red Deer, Roe Deer, Red Squirrel, Golden Eagle, Ospreys,
Grouse, Oyster Catchers, Buzzards, Wildcat and if you are
lucky, the elusive Capercaillie.
The StablesThe original stable block of Glen Tanar House now houses
the Equestrian Centre. Excellent facilities include a covered
arena, outdoor show jumping, cross country courses and
spectacular riding along riverside, forest and mountain
trails. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to mention that all of
Glen Tanar’s riding is completely traffic free.
Riding OutOne hour rides take you round the Trout Loch, into the
Ancient Wood of Caledon, along the banks and through the
Water of Tanar.
