A Moment of Adventure with Wild Braemar

At Candacraig we work with some wonderful local characters, all experts in their field, to give you the most rewarding, fun and exhilarating experiences and allow you to make the most of your time in the Highlands.

Annie is an experienced guide and host with a background in environmental sciences and luxury hospitality. She is also a qualified Open Water Swimming Coach. Going on a walk with Annie often means jumping the pure waters of the Don or the Dee for a reinvigorating wild swim, carried out in the safe hands of someone with great local knowledge and expertise.

Cold water swimming is proven to bring many health benefits. It boosts your immune system, activates endorphins, reduces stress and burns calories!

An outing with Annie will always include local folklore stories, foraging tips and wildlife spotting. Annie is also a Forest school teacher and always has fantastic ideas to keep the young ones engaged and entertained.
