Victoria Cottage Victoria Cottage is a truly traditional old Highland cottage standing on the edge of the village of Braemar just a short walk from the centre, near to the starting point of glorious forest walks which wind above the River Dee through the stunning scenery for which Royal Deeside is renowned.
