(The airport is on the northern outskirts of Aberdeen. ) Dundee : take the A923 to Coupar Angus then Blairgowrie joining the A93 Inverness : Take the A9 towards Aviemore, A938 to Grantown-on-Spey, A939 to Ballater and the A93 to destination. From Perth : Braemar is 50 miles North on the A93 via Blairgowrie. Note the routes given above are 'tourist' routes. For the eastern end of the valley it is usually quicker to take the A90 (from the south) or A92 (from the north) as if going to Aberdeen. Leave these roads at the desired point.

Although Aberdeen has the closest airport, if you are going to the Braemar area then Edinburgh offers a reasonable alternative. Similarly Perth station is an alternative to Aberdeen. In winter, however, the A93 Perth-Braemar road is occasionally snow-bound.
