Holidays in Scotland - Things to do in Cairngorm National Park, Aviemore & Grantown-on-Spey

In the heart of Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands, Grantown-on-Spey is set in the midst of the mountains, rivers, forests and lochs that form the magnificent scenery of the Cairngorm National Park. There is excellent fishing on the famous River Spey, woodland and hill walks around the town and an excellent 18 hole golf course. A challenging 9 hole par 3 course and fishery lie just outwith the town. The local Community Sports Centre offers a range of activities including swimming and there are tennis and bowling clubs in the town. The many restaurants offer excellent local produce up to fine dining standard. Here are a few of our favourites The Grant Arms Hotel Restaurant, The Craggan Mill, The Garth Hotel Restaurant.
 
Round and about Grantown enjoy outdoor pursuits, cycling, water sports,quality golf, bird and wildlife watching (including the famous Ospreys), the malt whisky trail or alternatively just relax in the tranquility of the countryside. For activities for all ages visit Landmark Park at Carrbridge.
 
 

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's Highland Wildlife Park is a short drive away. The Park is home to wildlife and animals from mountain and tundra and is set in spectacular highland scenery. The Amur Tigers have been joined by Mercedes the polar bear. Each enjoy their own specially created, extensive enclosures.
