Explore the Linn of Dee, a favourite picnic spot of Queen Victoria. Visit the gorge and watch the River Dee squeeze through the gap in the rocks before continuing on its way to Aberdeen.
Enjoy a family adventure by walking our waymarked trails along the River Dee, through the regenerating Caledonian pinewood and into Glen Lui for views towards the Cairngorms.
There’s a permanent orienteering course at the Linn of Dee where you can explore some stunning scenery whilst practising navigation skills. Try the shorter 1.5km course or challenge yourself with the longer 5km course. Information on orienteering and maps of the Linn of Dee course can be found here.
