- Queen Victoria’s diary, 1848, en-route to Balmoral via Glenshee.

Learn MoreHidden at the end of a quiet and secluded glen, Dalmunzie has been witness to many events over thousands of years. Today's visitors can easily be unaware that Dalmunzie was once home to hundreds of people speaking a language that has only recently disappeared. The standing stone and burial cairn near the Glenshee parish church date back to the Bronze age when people were first settling in the area. The Fermtoun of Cuthil (Gaelic for clearing in the forest) is of ancient origin and indicates a time when the glen was still heavily wooded. Legends and history abound in the area, including the death of Diarmid and his tomb, the battle of the Caterans, tales of Cam Ruadh, The Mighty MacCombie Mor and the finding of the Dalmunzie sword.
