Did you know that ‘Aonach’, the name of our self-catering cottage in the Cairngorms means ‘ridge’, or ‘steep place’ in Gaelic?

What's your favourite walk in the Cairngorms?
The gently undulating Beaver Trail meanders through the ancient Rothiemurchus pine forest. This peaceful route passes the Lily Loch (Lochan Mor), where you can see waterlilies growing in the summer, and a small diversion near the halfway point will take you to Loch an Eilein. Keep your eyes peeled for signs of beaver activity at Lochan Mor 🦫

Some great advice in this article

Are you bringing your dog on one of our walking trails? 🐕‍🦺

Four-legged friends are welcome in our woods but we ask that you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code's guidelines. These include:

➡️ Always keep your dog in sight and under control, especially around farm animals, if in doubt use a lead
➡️ Keep your dog on a short lead or close at heel to avoid disturbing ground nesting birds

This morning's full 'Snow Moon' setting over the Isle of Rùm just before dawn, photographed from near Arisaig on the west coast. Yes, it was as cold as it looks! This beautiful part of Scotland is only a couple of hours' drive from the Cairngorms.

Glowering skies over Glen Einich (Einich means 'boggy place' in Scottish Gaelic). Always a dramatic place to visit on foot or by mountain bike, and invariable windy too!

Glen Feshie larches. I loved the way the skeletal winter shapes of this row of trees was silhouetted against the late afternoon sky to create a simple two-dimensional landscape.

Dawn sunlight catching the clouds over Braeriach, the UK's third highest mountain (after Ben Nevis and Ben Macdui). Braeriach means 'brindled upland' in Scottish Gaelic and describes the landscape beautifully in these conditions.

We love the way natural mosses and lichens are slowly claiming this sign. The Insh Marshes are one of the largest and most important inland wetland areas in the UK, supporting a variety of wild and plant life, with 850 hectares is managed by RSPB Scotland. The marshes are home to large populations of breeding waders, including Curlews, Lapwings, Redshanks and Snipes
