Aboyne and Deeside Heritage Society visit to Glentanar Estate 7th August 2023

Earlier this month, a contingent of Aboyne and Deeside Heritage Society members visited Glentanar Estate. They were treated to a talk by Claire Bruce on William Cunliffe Brooks and George Truefitt, and learned much about the history of Glentanar. After a guided walk around the Estate, they were treated to tea, coffee and cakes in the Glentanar ballroom. Many thanks to Claire Bruce and to Aoibhinn Martin, Glentanar Estate’s Events Coordinator, for a most enjoyable afternoon.
