Enchanting Royal Highlands | Cairngorms National Park
from £550.00
🕔 8 Hours
Journey into the heart of the UK’s largest National Park, a spectacular Arctic-alpine landscape of ancient pine forests, soaring peaks, and crystal-clear lochs. This tour offers a deep dive into the unique ecology and rebellious history of the Scottish Highlands.
Cairngorm Mountain & Funicular: Ascend Britain’s highest railway for unparalleled views across the park’s plateaus. At over 1,000m above sea level, you’ll experience a rare mountain environment home to ptarmigan and golden eagles.
The Reindeer Centre & Highland Cows: Meet Britain’s only free-ranging reindeer herd. For more animal encounters, visit the Highland Folk Museum, where you can step back in time to 1700s township life and meet the iconic Highland cows.
Lochs & Legend: Discover Loch an Eilein, voted one of Scotland's best spots for its mysterious 13th-century island castle. We also visit Loch Morlich, boasting the highest freshwater beach in Scotland with a backdrop of snow-capped peaks.
Ruthven Barracks: Stand among the ruins of this 18th-century fortress. This historic site served as the final rallying point for the Jacobites after their defeat at Culloden before they finally surrendered.
Ancient Caledonian Forest: Explore Loch Garten, the historic home of the Osprey. Walk through gnarled pine forests that provide a sanctuary for red squirrels, crested tits, and rare Scottish crossbills.
