Additional Information

Immerse yourself in the allure of Cairngorm National Park! Discover the history, culture, and legends of this splendid area I call home.

Our journey will start with a reminiscent trip to the Highland Folk Museum, famous for its appearance in Outlander as the Mackenzie village. Next, we will explore Ruthven Barracks, an early 18th-century fortification, and a rallying point for Jacobites after the Battle of Culloden.

Moving on, we visit Loch an Eilein, with its stunning mirrored reflections of towering pines and the remnants of an island castle.

Our adventure continues as we drive up to the Cairngorm mountain car park, where you can marvel at the expansive valley views, indulge in a brief walk, or relax with a hot cup of coffee.

We will then pay a visit to Loch Morlich beach on our way down to the village of Aviemore, rounding off the outing with a taste of whisky at the Snug, or Gin tasting options at Kinrara and Cairngorm Brewery.

To wrap up the day, we will end with a delightful sheepdog demonstration.

Great visit to Cairngorm! - 2nd tour we did with Gordon, and we enjoyed it very much! Interesting and informative tour, lots of lovely photos. Private tour is ideal because it allowed us to customize as we wanted. Highly recommend booking tours with Gordon!

Aviemore Area - Carole from Grand Tours of Scotland was our driver and guide for the day. Started out at the highest point (by road) in Cairngorms N.P. Carole took us to so many great and interesting places we would have never found on our own. She dropped us off back at the train station where we caught our train to Edinburg.

Fantastic tour with Callum - We had a tour of Cairngorm National Park and other nearby areas for much of one day with Callum. We honestly could not be happier with our experience. Callum was not only an excellent and well informed guide he was also a personally warm and engaging host who made us feel welcome and shared his experiences with us. This was never intrusive and he did everything possible to fit the specifics of our tour to our personal interests. I should also note that it rained on and off throughout the day and he did an excellent job of adapting to this with us. We simply could not recommend him more highly. We would absolutely seek him out again if we were in the area.

Jim’s Homeland - Our trip around Cairngorm National Park was like taking a trip with a long loss friend. Jim was excellent and provided us a home grown tour of the highlands. It was a very genuine experience sharing Jim’s love of his homeland and cultural landscape. Jim - you and Irene are invited to come and visit us in Alberta so we can share in our homeland and the Rockies and Prairies. Thank you.
