Aberdeen

Aberdeen Association

Following Queen Victoria’s first visit to Deeside in 1848, a number of Aberdeenshire tradespeople found custom with the Balmoral Estate, the Monarch’s private home in Scotland. In 1871, the Aberdeen Association was formally constituted, and it joined the national Association in 1931.

The Braemar Gathering

The Braemar Gathering is always held on the first Saturday in September at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. It is among the most spectacular of the Highland Games and offers a diverse programme of dancing, pipe band music and athletic events.  The Aberdeen Association of Royal Warrant Holders are delighted to host guests at the Gathering every year.

While there have been Gatherings of one sort or another at Braemar since the days of King Malcolm Canmore over nine hundred years ago, the Gathering has been run in its present form since 1832. During much of that time, large crowds have come each year to acclaim their Monarch as Chieftain of the Braemar Gathering.

For those visiting the Braemar Gathering for the first time, the feedback is that it is ‘quite unique’ and that ‘there is nothing quite like it’.  We agree and look forward to this great Scottish event each year.
