Gardens and forests in Royal Deeside

The stunning beauty of the landscapes are only rivalled by some wonderful gardens and forest walks liberally sprinkled around us. Lochs Davan and Kinord are situated adjacent to each other in an area of the River Dee catchment known as the Muir of Dinnet

Pollen preserved in the sediments of Loch Kinord record an almost complete sequence of Devensian late glacial and Flandrian vegetation history so that these two lochs are important reference sites for reconstructing changing environmental conditions in north east Scotland since the last ice sheet melted
