Spring 2011 edition of Deelicious Magazine
The Spring edition of Deelicious magazine – the Royal Deeside guide to the wonderful food and drink from the area – has just been published and can be read on the Royal Deeside Larder website www.royaldeesidelarder.co.uk.
Features include Neil and Julie Rae’s development of their fine dining ideas at both the Milton restaurant and the Raemoir House Hotel, sumptuous breakfasts and hospitality at Glendavan House B&B, and the Finzean Estate Farm Shop and Tearoom with their home-reared beef, wild venison, and homemade baking and preserves.
The path diversion around the Braeloine Visitor Centre while tree felling was taking place has now been removed. There are still some stacks of wood around on the South Drive that runs alongside the Fairy Lochan, so if you’re walking in the area keep clear of them and watch out for vehicles coming to remove them.
The 2011 Salmon fishing season has been officially opened today, Tuesday 1st Febuary by BBC broadcaster and keen angler Fiona Armstrong.
The opening took place at Potarch Bridge and Fiona has hopefully set the trend for the year as she caught a 4lb Salmon.
We have some dates available on the Glen Tanar beats in March so please contact us on (013398) 86451 for more information.
For anyone planning to visit the glen to walk the Braeloine riverside path, there is currently tree felling taking place so part of the path, from the Braeloine Centre downstream, is closed temporarily.
You can still use most of this path, following the signs out from Braeloine, but then diverting away from the riverbank on the return section.
A map is on display at Braeloine showing the precise line of diversion, and there are signs on the route itself.
It will probably be about a week, from the 25th January, to complete the work
On Friday last week Glen Tanar featured in the BBC Landward programme in their piece about Scottish Wildcats, including descriptions given by our Wildlife Manager Colin McLean and some of the footage of the cats from our camera traps which Colin is shown tending. There were also some spectacular shots of the deeply snow-covered Cairngorms landscape in brilliant sunshine.
You can watch the episode (number 23) on BBC iPlayer at this link. The wildcat section is near the beginning but the whole programme is well worth watching and includes a piece on photography in Skye with ace landscape photographer Colin Prior.

During the recent Royal Deeside Venison Festival writer Richard Rowe visited us and experienced one of our estate safaris to see the management and conservation efforts taking place here and experience the landscape and wildlife of Deeside at first hand.
His insightful article for Scotland Outdoors covers not just the deer and their management but also many other aspects of the estate including fire prevention in the ancient forest, the salmon fishery, and the wildlife such as grouse and capercaillie, red squirrels, pine martens and wildcats. You can read the article - Estate of Mind – by viewing or downloading the article in pdf format.
