Glen Clova

South East of the Cairngorms, across the river Dee, past Braemar, across the Balmoral Forest and over and below Lochnagar, we come to Glen Clova, which follows the South Esk river to Cortachy and Strathmore. The glen is notable for its magnificent rock scenery and for its many rare shrubs and ferns. Lochnagar, Glen Muick and Glen Clova: Ballater and Balmoral (Explorer Maps).
