✨ From the States to Glen Tanar… and a dream intimate wedding ✨

What happens when AI helps you discover your perfect wedding venue? 💍🏔️

For one special couple from the States, it led them all the way to the breathtaking landscapes of Glen Tanar in Royal Deeside, where they found the intimate, romantic setting they had been dreaming of.

From the stunning Victorian Ballroom to the ancient Caledonian pine forests, Glen Tanar provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable celebration. 🤍

We’re delighted to share their story in our latest blog, a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most unexpected journey can lead you to exactly where you’re meant to be.

✨ A little bit of Press & Journal love for Glen Tanar… ✨

We’ve been delighted to see Glen Tanar featured in the Press & Journal twice over the last couple of weeks! 🥂

Most recently there was the glittering Aberdeen City & Shire Thistle Awards at The Chester Hotel in Aberdeen, celebrating the very best of Aberdeen’s tourism and hospitality industry. We were absolutely delighted to see our very own Stuart recognised with the Rising Star Award! 🌟

We were also thrilled to be included among Aberdeen’s five most romantic and unique wedding venues. 💍❤️ It’s a real privilege to be recognised alongside some fantastic venues across the region, each with their own unique style and something special to offer couples on their wedding day.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Glen Tanar such a special place to say “I do”, why not come and see for yourselves?

💍 Our Wedding Fair is taking place on 11th October in the Glen Tanar Ballroom. Come along, explore the venue, soak up the atmosphere and start imagining your own wedding day here at Glen Tanar. ✨

A lovely couple of weeks for the Glen Tanar team, and a wonderful reminder of the fantastic people and businesses that make Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire’s hospitality scene so special.

We’d love to welcome you to Glen Tanar on 11th October!

Which one of these is your dream wedding venue?

What a night! 🌟🏆

A huge congratulations to Stuart on winning the Rising Star Award at tonight’s ACSTA Awards at The Chester Hotel in Aberdeen!

A small team from Glen Tanar were delighted to be there to cheer Stuart on, and we couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

Stuart has played such an important role in building and growing our wedding business, helping to create unforgettable experiences for countless couples over the years. From the first conversation to the big day itself, he puts so much care, passion and attention into making sure every couple feels looked after and has the special day they dreamed of.

It was wonderful to see his hard work and dedication recognised tonight, and even more special to celebrate alongside all of the other fantastic finalists and talented people from across the industry.

Congratulations, Stuart — a thoroughly deserved achievement! 🥂✨

Craigendinnie Hill – Access Update 🚵‍♂️

Tree harvesting and extraction works on Craigendinnie Hill are now complete, and all mountain bike routes at Craigendinnie are open, apart from the bottom section of Friends Electric.

Please note that timber haulage is still ongoing while timber is removed from the site.

⚠️ Please take care around forestry operations:

Follow all safety signs and any instructions on site

Do not approach forestry machinery or timber lorries

Keep a minimum safe distance of 50 metres from active forestry operations, and stay further back if instructed by signage or site personnel

Be alert for moving trucks, machinery and timber being loaded or unloaded

Give forestry vehicles plenty of space and do not attempt to pass them unless it is clearly safe to do so

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe while haulage continues.

Ride safe and enjoy the trails! 🌲🚵‍♀️

A Midsummer Feast

⚠️ Wildlife note: The attached video shows golden eagle chicks being fed a natural prey item by their parents and may not be suitable for sensitive viewers.

High summer in the Highlands - long days, wild landscapes, and a new generation of golden eagles thriving under the watchful care of their parents.

We are hopeful that golden eagle photography opportunities will be available again next year. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please contact the Estate Office to register your interest.

Majestic deer, sweeping landscapes, and the rich purple bloom of the heather — moments like these remind us just how special Glen Tanar is. 🦌💜

These stunning images, captured by our Wildlife Manager, showcase the beauty and resilience of this incredible landscape that so many species call home.

With the recent wildfires across the Cairngorms National Park, it's also a timely reminder that these precious places are incredibly vulnerable. Every one of us has a part to play in protecting them. By disposing of litter responsibly, and respecting the countryside, we can help safeguard our landscapes and wildlife for future generations.

Please remember that BBQs and campfires are not permitted in the Cairngorms National Park between 1 April and 30 September due to the heightened risk of wildfire. Thank you for helping us protect this special place and the wildlife that depends on it. 🌿
