Cairngorms

In the heart of the Highlands, the Cairngorms are defined by soaring scenery and landscapes of hope that reset and revive the soul.
“Spending time in the Cairngorms’s wild landscapes delivers an impassioned message of regenerative conservation and the restorative power of nature.”

Delve deep into the Cairngorms and discover pine-scented forests, brooding mountains, heather-burnished glens and mysterious lochs. A wilderness easily accessible from Inverness, the Cairngorms hosts unscripted, nature-immersed adventures within a 200-year-old vision of regeneration.

Experiencing Loch Ness

Things to Do

Dive into emerald-green lochs for icy wild swims, walk or bike for miles without seeing a soul or enjoy a gamekeeper-guided Highland pony picnic. Discover the ruinous beauty of Ruthven Barracks or sup iconic malts at the remote Dalwhinnie distillery. Glimpse rare wildlife – eagles, wildcats and osprey – and in winter, head to the hills for skiing and celestial star gazing, returning home to cosy corners in remote retreats. Come sunshine, storms, snow or dusky skies, the natural drama of the Cairngorms unfolds in abundance.
