It is near to Aboyne and the Muir of Dinnet. The area has evidence of human habitation going back to 4000 BC, notably the recumbent Tomnaverie stone circle, a souterrain or earth house at Culsh, as well as numerous burial cairns, lesser stone circles, Bronze Age fortifications and Pictish Stones. These antiquities point the existence of several distinct cultures living in the Cromar over the millennia. Shouldering Morven is Culblean, the site of the Battle of Culblean in 1335.

Grampian Mountains (Scotland)
The Grampian Mountains (''Am Monadh'' in Gaelic) is one of the three major mountain ranges in Scotland, that together occupy about half of Scotland. The other two ranges are the Northwest Highlands and the Southern Uplands. The Grampian range extends southwest to northeast between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Great Glen. The range includes many of the highest mountains in the British Isles, including Ben Nevis (whose peak contains the highest point in the British Isles at above sea level) and Ben Macdui (whose peak contains second-highest at ). A number of rivers and streams rise in the Grampians, including the Tay, Spey, Cowie Water, Burn of Muchalls, Burn of Pheppie, Burn of Elsick, Cairnie Burn, Don, Dee and Esk. The area is generally sparsely populated. There is some ambiguity about the extent of the range, and until the nineteenth century, they were generally considered to be more than one range, which all formed part of the wider Scottish Highlands.

Ballater
Ballater (, gd, Bealadair) is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on the River Dee, immediately east of the Cairngorm Mountains. Situated at an elevation of , Ballater is a centre for hikers and known for its spring water, once said to cure scrofula.

Blelack
Blelack (, gd, Blàth Bholg) is a place in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the location of Blelack House, a Scottish mansion house with origins in the seventeenth century. :''Dool Dool to Blelack, and Dool to Blelack's Heir, for Driving use fae the Seely Howe to the Cauld Hill O’ Fare'' So goes the apparent curse on the Laird of Blelack House for instigating an exorcism on the "Fairies" resident in the Seely Howe (the location of Blelack House), 'howe' being a hollow or glen. The Cauld ('Cold') Hill O’ Fare is near Banchory, some miles further down the Dee Valley. Dool is the Doric dialect term roughly equivalent to 'Doom'.

Blelack House is situated west of Aberdeen, near the village of Logie Coldstone, north of the River Dee in the Cromar, a basin of agricultural land carved out of the Grampian foothills.
