Literary Tour

The written word is woven throughout the Fife Arms and the village of Braemar, where authors and poets have nurtured their creative inspiration for centuries. Discover key literary sites and the origins of famous works on an expert-led guided tour of the village, tailored according to individual interests.

The tour follows in the footsteps of authors and poets connected to the Fife Arms, including the opportunity to incorporate a walk up to view Nan Shepherd’s howff – the simple wooden cabin that served as her personal sanctuary while walking in the Cairngorms. Or, simply explore the village and its fringes while uncovering its literary heritage, such as the pretty cottage where Robert Louis Stevenson first penned Treasure Island.
