Cairngorms; Highest Mountains, Bonnie Lochs & Ancient Forests

Despre activitate

We'll head south from Inverness over The Slochd Summit from where we see our first view of The Cairngorm Mountains. We continue on to the Highland Folk Museum, Newtonmore where you can discover the history and heritage of The Scottish Highlands.

From here we will enjoy a lovely tour along the quieter back roads of Badenoch & Strathspey. We'll visit Ruthven Barracks before passing through Rothiemurchus and Loch Morlich. Our journey then takes us up to Cairngorm ski area and UK’s highest mountain railway. Experience Cairngorm Mountain and enjoy wonderful panoramic views from UK’s highest restaurant, over 1000 metres up. Back down in Strathspey we can go looking for red squirrels and perhaps Ospreys amid our indigenous Caledonian Pine Forest by Loch Garten and Nethy Bridge. Our tour takes us on to Grantown-on-Spey and, if time allows, we can enjoy an envigorating dram or two on our way home at either Tomatin or the new Cairn Distillery.

Itinerar

  1. Cairngorms National Park

    Trecere fără oprire

    Magnificent views of some of Scotland's highest mountains with the opportunity to travel up the Cairngorm Mountain Railway. We will be travelling through the National Park throughout the day

  2. Highland Folk Museum

    o oră Intrarea inclusă

    Step back in time and experience life in the Highlands from 1700s to the 1950s. We have over 35 historical buildings onsite for you to explore and discover how people in the Highlands lived, worked, went to school, enjoyed their leisure time.

  3. Ruthven Barracks

    30 min

    Ruthven Barracks were built by George II’s government in the early 1700s after the failed Jacobite uprising of 1715. The troops stationed there were to maintain law and order and enforce the Disarming Act of 1716.

    The barracks saw action twice. A 300-strong Jacobite attack failed to take the barracks in 1745, but a more heavily-armed attack the next year forced the barracks’ surrender. The Jacobites rallied here after their defeat at Culloden before conceding.

  4. Loch Morlich

    Trecere fără oprire

    Loch Morlich enjoys one of the finest settings of any loch in the country. It is surrounded by forests and fringed by beaches, with the stunning backdrop of the often snow-clad peaks of the northern Cairngorms.

    1 h 30 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The town was founded in 1765 as a planned settlement and was originally called simply Grantown after Sir James Grant.[4] The addition 'on Spey' was added by the burgh council in 1898. The town has several listed 18th and 19th century buildings, including several large hotels and serves as a regional centre for tourism and services in the Strathspey region.

    The town is twinned with Notre-Dame-de-Monts in the Vendée, Pays de la Loire, France.

  8. Tomatin Distillery Visitor Centre

    The Scottish Highlands.

    Full of stories, of open arms and warm welcomes.

    Full of hidden depths and of the love of families spanning generations.

    Full of what matters.

    This is our home. This is us. This is our whisky.

    Each one a memento of a passion and knowledge that only comes from making whisky over several lifetimes.

    Each one a toast to the very landscape in which we live, to our community bonded by shared purpose and in everything we do.

    Quite simply, our whiskies reflect us.

    Always have and always will.

    Tomatin. To what matters.
