The Green Cottage, Aviemore

Some starry skies and a hint of the Aurora perhaps? Nevertheless, a nice clear night for Aurora hunting!

19/10/2023

Lovely Autumnal visit to Balmoral, can be a day trip from your base in Aviemore. Sadly no tea with The King as he had just left that morning!! 🤴 ☕️

Scenic drive over the Cairngorms, with lunch stop at Goodbrand & Ross cafe and gift shop en route.

Fantastic trails, hills, forest and river quad biking with Cairngorm Quad Treks at Dalraddy. Check them out!

The Milky Way over Loch Morlich 💫✨🪐🌙
The Cairngorms are a magical place for watching the night sky with low light pollution and stunning dark mountain backdrops against a starry sky.

Bank holiday Mondays done right! 🍸 ✔️

If you like gin, or to be honest even if you don’t, make time to visit the Kinrara Distillery just outside Aviemore. We had a fabulous fun gin tasting this afternoon. Beautiful gift shop, spectacular view and great tasting hour with the lovely Trisha. .

British summer time!! ☀️

This photo made me laugh - hopefully not a premonition!

BST officially begins today, and I am hopeful of nicer, longer days as I look outside just now! Almost worth losing an hour this morning!

Still some short breaks available leading up to summer.

Summer holiday dates in July available (min 3 night booking).

A lovely 10km circuit passing An Lochan Uaine (The Green Loch), Ryvoan Bothy and up Meall a' Bhuachaille with a view over Loch Morlich on the return.

So great to get back on Cairngorm today. Whilst not a huge amount of snow have done a fantastic job keeping a few runs open. Fantastic to get a lift up on the newly opened funicular too! 🚊 🎿 ❄️

25/01/2023

Delighted the funicular is back open tomorrow!! This is a great way to see the top of the hill whether you’re a skier, walker or just want to admire the view! There’s also a restaurant at the top!

It’s the announcement all our snowsports enthusiasts have been waiting for… the reinstatement works for Cairngorm Mountain’s funicular railway are now complete. After a complex engineering project to strengthen the viaduct and install a new control system, journeys on the funicular railway can now recommence.

The funicular will run regularly subject to weather conditions from tomorrow. We’re looking forward to welcoming back our first passengers as they travel to the top slopes for snowsports this season.

And just like that … school’s out for summer! 🎓 (Don’t you wish you’d written a song that got played every year?? )

Well done to everyone for getting through another school year and good luck to all starting a new chapter after the summer.

In the meantime, enjoy whatever you’re up to over the summer. May the days be long and sunny and the kids not be too annoying!! ☀️ 🍷

Of course the sun always shines in Aviemore ☀️ 😉…

However, if you’re looking for a rainy day activity for the wee ones (or not so wee ones!) try out Crafty Capers for some fun ceramic painting. Located in The Highland Home centre, just a few minutes walk from the cottage, which also houses The Lovely Route 7 Cafe. 🖌☕️ 🧁
