The Callater Burn is a river in the Scottish council area of Aberdeenshire.[2] Queen Victoria's last excursion with her husband Prince Albert, who died in 1861, is said to have taken place on 16 October of the same year through Glen Clunie to Glen Callater, which Albert is said to have admired for its beauty.[3]
