Important Announcement – The Illuminator Run

Due to the heavy rain forecast today and the Met Office amber weather warning issued for tomorrow evening, we support the difficult decision made by Still Going Strong ltd to postpone this year’s Illuminator Run.
The estate and Still Going Strong made every effort to make changes to the event in the hope that it could still take place, but the wider risks had to be considered.
We know how many of you have been looking forward to this event, and we are very disappointed that we can’t host this popular event.
The safety of our visitors is always our priority, and given the weather conditions, we feel this is the right decision to help keep everyone as safe as possible whilst visiting our beautiful estate.
Thank you for your understanding, and we’re sorry that we won’t be able to welcome you for the Illuminator Run this year.

✨ From the States to Glen Tanar… and a dream intimate wedding ✨

What happens when AI helps you discover your perfect wedding venue? 💍🏔️

For one special couple from the States, it led them all the way to the breathtaking landscapes of Glen Tanar in Royal Deeside, where they found the intimate, romantic setting they had been dreaming of.

From the stunning Victorian Ballroom to the ancient Caledonian pine forests, Glen Tanar provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable celebration. 🤍

We’re delighted to share their story in our latest blog, a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most unexpected journey can lead you to exactly where you’re meant to be.

✨ A little bit of Press & Journal love for Glen Tanar… ✨

We’ve been delighted to see Glen Tanar featured in the Press & Journal twice over the last couple of weeks! 🥂

Most recently there was the glittering Aberdeen City & Shire Thistle Awards at The Chester Hotel in Aberdeen, celebrating the very best of Aberdeen’s tourism and hospitality industry. We were absolutely delighted to see our very own Stuart recognised with the Rising Star Award! 🌟

We were also thrilled to be included among Aberdeen’s five most romantic and unique wedding venues. 💍❤️ It’s a real privilege to be recognised alongside some fantastic venues across the region, each with their own unique style and something special to offer couples on their wedding day.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Glen Tanar such a special place to say “I do”, why not come and see for yourselves?

💍 Our Wedding Fair is taking place on 11th October in the Glen Tanar Ballroom. Come along, explore the venue, soak up the atmosphere and start imagining your own wedding day here at Glen Tanar. ✨

A lovely couple of weeks for the Glen Tanar team, and a wonderful reminder of the fantastic people and businesses that make Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire’s hospitality scene so special.

We’d love to welcome you to Glen Tanar on 11th October!

Which one of these is your dream wedding venue?

What a night! 🌟🏆

A huge congratulations to Stuart on winning the Rising Star Award at tonight’s ACSTA Awards at The Chester Hotel in Aberdeen!

A small team from Glen Tanar were delighted to be there to cheer Stuart on, and we couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

Stuart has played such an important role in building and growing our wedding business, helping to create unforgettable experiences for countless couples over the years. From the first conversation to the big day itself, he puts so much care, passion and attention into making sure every couple feels looked after and has the special day they dreamed of.

It was wonderful to see his hard work and dedication recognised tonight, and even more special to celebrate alongside all of the other fantastic finalists and talented people from across the industry.

Congratulations, Stuart — a thoroughly deserved achievement! 🥂✨

Craigendinnie Hill – Access Update 🚵‍♂️

Tree harvesting and extraction works on Craigendinnie Hill are now complete, and all mountain bike routes at Craigendinnie are open, apart from the bottom section of Friends Electric.

Please note that timber haulage is still ongoing while timber is removed from the site.

⚠️ Please take care around forestry operations:

Follow all safety signs and any instructions on site

Do not approach forestry machinery or timber lorries

Keep a minimum safe distance of 50 metres from active forestry operations, and stay further back if instructed by signage or site personnel

Be alert for moving trucks, machinery and timber being loaded or unloaded

Give forestry vehicles plenty of space and do not attempt to pass them unless it is clearly safe to do so

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe while haulage continues.

Ride safe and enjoy the trails! 🌲🚵‍♀️
