The Clunie Water is a river in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It flows into the River Dee near the village of Braemar. The Clunie Water meets the River Dee among old stone buildings. Another stream, the Callater Burn, also flows into the Clunie Water at a place called Auchallater. You can often see the river flowing next to the A93 road.

Exploring Bridges and Paths
Fraser's Bridge: A Historic Crossing
South of Auchallater, in the beautiful Glen of Clunie, you will find Fraser's Bridge. This old bridge is made of stone and has a special curved shape. It is about 100 feet (30 m) long. The bridge was finished around the year 1749.
It is a very important historical building. On an old map from 1776, it was called "East Bridge."
New Paths for Walkers
In June 2010, a new walking path was opened. This path is about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) long. It starts from the Highland Society Bridge, crosses over the Clunie Water, and leads to the Glenshee Road. This path makes it easier for people to explore the area.
Fishing for Brown Trout
If you enjoy fishing, the Clunie Water is a good spot. During the fishing season, you can get special permission to fish here. The season runs from March to September each year. Anglers often try to catch brown trout in the river's waters.
