This sign and map can be found on the edge of a car park serving the nearby tourist attraction of Braemar Castle, just north of the Highland village of the same name on the A93 road. The map covers the area around the village and points out your location by a red circle. The text on the top of the sign reads as follows:
'Braemar gets its name from the Gaelic Bràigh Mhàrr - the upland of Mar. It's the heart of the hill country in the lands once controlled by the Earl of Mar, who built Braemar Castle'
The sign also gives a history of the village, a feature on the Arctic conditions that plague one of the highest villages in Scotland, a feature on clan gatherings, information on St.Andrews Catholic Church in the village, and on Robert Louis Stevenson, who started to write Treasure Island whilst on holiday in Braemar.
