The Name

The name "Braemar" is a nostalgic reference to Braemar in Scotland where, in September every year, the clans meet for the gathering of The Braemar Royal Highland Society in a century old tradition.

The house was named by the first owner, Mr. John Russell Gray, who came to New Zealand from Rutherglen, Scotland. More about the Gray family later.
