Cairngorm Mountain

CairnGorm Ski Area, , Aviemore, PH22 1RB

We start our tour by travelling over the Slochd summit into the Strathspey and Badenoch region of the Highlands of Scotland, before making our way into the Cairngorm Mountains. Take in the fabulous vistas, as we ascend the Cairn Gorm mountain (meaning “blue cairns”) and investigate whether the peaks are dusted with snow. Perhaps you will come across some of the reindeer, the only herd of these magnificent creatures in the UK?

40 minutes

Loch Morlich

Glenmore Forest Park, Aviemore, PH22 1QU

Next, visit Loch Morlich, and gaze across to the Cairngorm mountain range from this absolutely stunning viewpoint. Hear all about the “Grey Man of Ben Macdui”, and some of the other folk tales about this beautiful freshwater loch.

Aviemore

Aviemore PH22, UK

Enjoying some free time for lunch in Aviemore, there are a number of excellent eateries and your guide will be able to advise you

1 hour

Ruthven Barracks

, Kingussie, Newtonmore

We visit the foreboding Ruthven Barracks, which despite being ruined, demonstrates how dank and despairing 18th century military architecture was. Ruthven is also where the defeated Jacobite troops congregated in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (1746), ready to fight on, only to receive word from Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) that the 1745 uprising was over. For fans of the Outlander franchise, Ruthven Barracks will give an eerie insight into what a military prison/barracks, similar to that in which Jamie was incarcerated, may have actually been like.

40 minutes

Tomatin Distillery Visitor Centre

Inverness, IV13 7YT

After enjoying some free time for lunch in Aviemore it’s time to return to Inverness, but not before a visit to Tomatin Distillery for a fantastic tour of the whisky distillery, and of course, a taste of the award winning single malt.
