near Braemar ]] The River Dee is a 90 mile (140 km) long River , that Rises in the Cairngorms , Aberdeenshire , Scotland and flows into the North Sea at Aberdeen . The area around Braemar and Ballater is known as ''Royal Deeside'', due to the fact that since the reign of Queen Victoria , the British Royal Family have spent their summers here at Balmoral Castle . Every year they attend the Braemar Highland Games and other local events. Birkhall , previously owned by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother is now the favourite retreat of Prince Charles . Further downriver, it passes through an artificial channel in Aberdeen, constructed in 1872 to improve the city's harbour. It has a number of tributaries, including the River Quoich , which joins the Dee near Braemar. |
