Aircrew Memorial, Braemar

In the background of my first photo of Braemar’s War Memorial can be seen another memorial which features an aircraft engine:-

This is from a Vickers Wellington aircraft which crashed near Braemar in poor weather on 19/1/1942. All 8 crewmen died.
The memorial is dedicated to them and to all othe aircrew who died in the Cairngorms:-

Braemar Games Arena

After Crathie, our way home took us through Braemar; so of course we had to stop for a look at the famous Braemar Gathering showground, home of one of the most famous Highland Games events.

Off to the side of the approach road is the Braemar Highland Games Centre along with the J S Milne Gallery:-
