The Cairngorms and the surrounding areas are full of things to do... even during the current global pandemic there are many activities that take place in the fabulous outdoor scenery. These include the wildlife and nature, and sports and physical pursuits...while (once they reopen) you can also try some heritage and cultural activities, not to mention enjoy greatfood and drink...including, of course, Scotch whisky, and plenty else besides...
Wildlife and nature... everthing from native red squirrels to polar bears at The Highland Wildlife Park, birdwatching at RSPB Insh Marshes, the Cairngorm reindeer herd , and further afield...the dolphins in the Moray Firth.
Sports and physical pursuits... walking, cycling and running all around the beautiful Spey Valley; marked trails at Rothiemuchus, snowsports at Cairngorm mountain, mountain biking all around the valley and at Wolftrax Laggan, watersports and more at Loch Insh and at Loch Morlich. There are loads more outdoor activities to discover at the Visit Cairngorms website.
There's lots of historical interest too...best found locally at the Highland Folk Museum , and follow this link for some castles of the Highlands then there's original art and craft at the Iona Gallery , Kingussie - not forgetting the paintings on the walls in Shetland Cottage...just part of the work of Dermod Ruddock!
