Date: Issue: Braemar – Additional /Alternative Housing Land at Braemar, Corriemulzie and Inverey Objector(s): The Proprietors of Mar Centre Objection ref(s): 394a Reporter Mr Hugh Begg Procedure Informal Hearing 1.0 Overview 1.1 This statement sets out the CNPA’s respon se to objections raised by The Proprietors of Mar Centre. The objections promote the inclusion of additional housing land at Braemar . The settlement boundary for Braemar should be flexible. The objections also suggest that developme nt opportunities exist at Corriemulzie and Inverey. This statement advises that the issue of additional allocations was not raised at the Deposit stage and that sites allocated in Braemar relate to existing allocated sites in the adopted Aberdeenshire L ocal Plan, where planning permissions exist or have Planning Committee approval. N o further allocations are justified in terms of the current housing needs established for Braemar. Other policies in the CNP Local Plan will be used to assess any forthcomi ng housing proposals for other sites in the area includin g Corriemulzie and Inverey. This statement does not recommend any further modification s. 2.0 Provision of Local Plan 2.1 The Cairngorms National Park Local Plan (Deposit) July 2007 (C D6.11 ) identifie d three housing sites within the Braemar settlement envelope – BM/H1, H2 and H3 . The 1 st Modifications May 2008 (C DP6.12 ) following objections, removed H3. However H1 and H2 were retained. The 2nd Modifications October 2008 (C D6.13 ) maintains this posi tion and includes the 12 no. house development at the Invercauld Farm site. Corriemulzie and Inverey are not identified as strategic, intermediate or rural settlements (see Paragraph 5.52, Page 45).

The Cairngorm Club Journal 111, 2015
246 The Mar Estate Editor's note: Graham Ewen, the late Honorary President of the Club, has written 9 articles for the Journal on the history of the Mar Estate. This is the final one, on the Corriemulzie Estate. After he started to write this article he became ill and died, but his long-time collaborator on the research of the Duff House Papers, Eddie Martin, has undertaken the task of completing the article. Corriemulzie Eddie Martin and Graham Ewen The precise boundaries of the Corriemulzie Estate are difficult to identify beyond the fact that they were located on the road from Braemar to Inverey, bounded by Auchendryne Estate to the east and Inverey Estate to the west. In a Charter dated 28 September 1632, granted by John, Earl of Mar to an Alister Mackenzie, it is described as the town and lands of Corriemulzie, with the pendicle called Wester Arderg extending to four oxgates, the town and lands of Craggan extending to two oxgates and the shielings of Reflinchwood, Inveraltlat and Corronraw which were probably on the east side of Glen Ey. An oxgate varies in area and averages about 13 acres. The southern march was probably the ridge of Creag an Fhithich or, using the archaic phrase for a ridge, 'where wind and weather shears'. The northern march of the Estate is even more difficult to define as Craggan is on the north side of the river Dee and one would have expected the river itself to be the natural boundary, (Fig. 1). After much litigation between Farquharson of Inverey, who now owned Corriemulzie, and the Earl of Fife, who now owned the Mackenzie of Dalmore Estate, Craggan was ceded to Thethe Earl followin Cairngormg an exchange of grazing right Clubs and the river became the northern march.

Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park
Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park Place-Names in the Cairngorms This leaflet provides an introduction to the background, meanings and pronunciation of a selection of the place-names in the Cairngorms National Park including some of the settlements, hills, woodlands, rivers and lochs in the Angus Glens, Strathdon, Deeside, Glen Avon, Glen Livet, Badenoch and Strathspey. Place-names give us some insight into the culture, history, environment and wildlife of the Park. They were used to help identify natural and built landscape features and also to commemorate events and people. The names on today’s maps, as well as describing landscape features, remind us of some of the associated local folklore. For example, according to local tradition, the River Avon (Aan): Uisge Athfhinn – Water of the Very Bright One – is said to be named after Athfhinn, the wife of Fionn (the legendary Celtic warrior) who supposedly drowned while trying to cross this river. The name ‘Cairngorms’ was first coined by non-Gaelic speaking visitors around 200 years ago to refer collectively to the range of mountains that lie between Strathspey and Deeside. Some local people still call these mountains by their original Gaelic name – Am Monadh Ruadh or ‘The Russet- coloured Mountain Range’.These mountains form the heart of the Cairngorms National Park – Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh. Invercauld Bridge over the River Dee Linguistic Heritage Some of the earliest place-names derive from the languages spoken by the Picts, who ruled large areas of Scotland north of the Forth at one time. The principal language spoken amongst the Picts seems to have been a ‘P-Celtic’ one (related to Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Gaulish).

The Cairngorm Club Journal 107, 2004
120 Graham Ewan Inverey and the Farquharsons Graham Ewen The Inverey Estate was quite large. The northern boundary, as described in the Charter granted in 1707, started at the Inver or mouth of the Ey and followed the River Dee westwards as far as its junction with the Geldie. On the west the boundary followed the Geldie as far as its junction with the Bynack Burn and from there followed the watershed between the Bynack Burn and the Geldie. On the south it followed the line of the present County Boundary as far as the headwaters of the Ey. The eastern boundary is not described. It is possible that it included the whole of the Glen Ey catchment area, but the exact line is not known. There is, however, a possibility that parts of Glen Ey belonged to the neighbouring small estate of Corriemulzie and Craggan, which used to have their shieling grounds where the farms of Dalruinduchlat, Dalnafae and Alltshlat were later to be established (i.e. the area around the Piper's Wood). It is interesting to note that as late as the 1841 census these farms were listed along with Corriemulzie, while those on the west side of the Ey are listed along with Inverey. However, the charter granted to Inverey in 1707 mentions these grounds as belonging to the Inverey Estate. The water is muddied further when one reads a charter granted in 1632 to Alister Mackenzie in the estate of Corriemulzie and Craggan, where these pasturages are described as belonging to him. The tenants of Coldrach in Glen Clunie, which belonged to Invercauld, also had a right of shieling in Glen Ey in the area called the Black Corries (the west side of An Socach).
