Braemar: Glen Dee

Glen Dee starts in the Lairig Ghru and continues to Aberdeen! Don’t worry – this book only covers the section of interest to the Cairngorm mountain bike enthusiast or walker, ie. from the Lairig Ghru to Inverey. Glen Dee, a worthwhile cycle ride itself, provides the first section of the Braemar to Glen Feshie link route via the wild Geldie Burn, a route not to be undertaken lightly – see next chapter of Geldie Burn – and the Glen Feshie section. The track up the south west bank of the Dee past White Bridge runs to a dead end but provides excellent views of the glen and mountains to the north. A boggy walkers path at the opposite side of the valley leads to Corrour bothy via a bridge. There is shelter at Corrour bothy, near Derry Lodge (via Glen Luibeg), or at Ruigh Ealasid 2km south west of White Bridge by the Geldie Burn. There is however no shelter in Glen Dee between Corrour and Inverey.
