Old photograph of Chapel Brae in Braemar, Royal Deeside, Scotland. Brae is Scottish word for a hill. Historically the village is situated in the upper end of the historical Earldom of Mar or literally the Braes o' Mar. Malcolm III with his first Queen came to the area in around 1059, and according to legend held a great gathering at the original settlement of Doldencha, situated under the present day graveyard. These days an annual Highland Games Gathering is held at Braemar on the first Saturday in September and is traditionally attended by the British Royal Family.
