Invercauld Estate is an ideal choice for a variety of TV and film
locations. The Estate extends to some 100,000 acres of magnificent
and wild scenery throughout Perthshire and Royal Deeside, with an
abundance of outstanding natural attractions and encompassing all
the very best of Scottish wildlife.
There are so many opportunities for either still or moving
filming that they would be difficult to list; but included are high
and barren mountain tops, a ski area, forests, at least five remote
and beautiful hill lochs, the Rivers Dee, Clunie and Shee plus lower
farming countryside.
Added to the natural areas are a large variety of properties;
including derelict cottages, farm and gamekeepers cottages, a
shooting lodge and the exterior of the impressive 17th Century
fortress, Braemar Castle.
Wildlife on Invercauld Estate is in abundance, with herds of red
deer to be seen on the hillside and in the valleys, and mountain
hares,grouse,ptarmigan, eagles and buzzards never far from view. The
changing seasons here are often quite dramatic, with winter
blizzards a fairly common feature.
The Estate employs over 25 staff, many who would be happy to
assist film crews in a variety of roles, from being extras to
advising on specialist subjects such as deer stalking, fishing and
forestry. Landrovers and ATVs from the Estate could be useful for
transporting film crews and equipment to the less accessible
locations. Braemar village offers a good selection of accommodation
for crews and the Estate also has two properties for rental.
