Fantastische omgeving, Highlands op en top. We hebben de hike van Linn of Dee carpark gemaakt naar de jacht hut, langs Ford Avon. Braemar is een gezellig dorpje gericht op hikers met een kleine Co-op. Een ideale uitvalsbasis voor wandelingen door de Cairngorms.

Breathtaking national park that’s perfect for cycling. I used the 3 pistes route to ride from Pitlochry to Aviemore. Was incredible and highly recommended.

Started from Auchlean car park,heading for Mullach Clach à Bhlàir,couple of stream crossings,great trail for about 8k before you start your climb up the track,which is steep in parts,winding its way up to the plateau,following the track turning off to the right which takes you straight to the Cairn.Very open,be prepared.

Absolutely fantastic place to visit, especially if you enjoy walking. The views are beautiful and panoramic, and the atmosphere is peacefully serene. Depending upon which track you take , there are several boffies along the way for the weary traveller to stay in overnight(if you can not be bothered to pitch a tent). A word to the wise. During the summer months(usually from may-sept), the place does get overrun by wee midges that swarm and bite. Take a headnet and detterents as an absolute necessity. Also, even during summer, it can get rather cold at night, so take a good sleeping bag and thermals. Despite these minor issues, the Cairngorms Natinal Park is a must for those who enjoy the outdoors experience.

It was a moderate hike.
I saw beautiful 🍄 mushrooms, fat shiny slugs, lovely views and vista.
The field of heather was so picturesque.

Lovely place to visit while in Scotland, they allow you to wild camp on the park which is fantastic and I push those who like camping to do so. Some of the views are magnificent.
There are loads of small cafes and hotels dotted around aswell.

Awesome place for hiking, miles on end walking possibilities. Great views, steep uphill walks, sometimes very challenging but absolutely worth it...love this area...

Breathtaking scenery! We spotted 3 red squirrel, hairy coo's and plenty of deer.

The lochs were amazing, each one with its own individuality. Went for a walk along the lochside of Loch Laggan, we felt we were in paradise!
