The Cairngorms National Park has so much to offer.  From historic sites, to the Cairngorm Funicular Railway and the Strathspey Railway, there is always plenty to do and see.  The area is also famous for its malt whisky trail through speyside, a great way to sample our Scottish blends.


If you're after some more family fun, the Highland Wildlife Park is a great day out where you can discover both Scottish wildlife and some endangered species including polar bears and tigers.

The area is also famous for the award winning BBC TV series, Monarch of the Glen.  Filming took place right here in Badenoch and Strathspey.  We've popped the DVDs in the cottage for fans!
