Scottish Highland Frogs in the Cairngorms National Park



Scottish Highland Frogs in the Cairngorms National Park.

We went for a walk in the forest outside Grantown on Spey and found these cute frogs making tadpoles. There are some great forest walks around Grantown, we went into the village for coffee and Ice Cream half way round our walk, a real treat.

Aviemore is at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, an ideal place to explore the area.

Caledonian Pine Forest just outside Grantown on Spey in the Cairngorms National Park



Caledonian Pine Forest just outside Grantown on Spey in the Cairngorms National Park.

A great place for walking, especially on windy days when it is not so pleasant out on the exposed mountains, you can enjoy the forest and perhaps see capercaillie. We saw one not far from this spot.

Walking in the Cairngorms National Park can provide endless enjoyment. You feel like you are in some place very special strolling along the ridges, through forests, beside burns all among the mountain tops. Get out there and enjoy it.

You will find lots to do in the area around Aviemore, walk, climb, cycle, fish, golf, ski, snow board, cultural and family activities. Whisky tours and wild life tours are available, a full spectrum of activities.

Aviemore Walking Festival enjoy the Great Outdoors in the Scottish Highlands.

Aviemore and the Cairngorms Walking and Mountain Festival - The Friendly Festival.

Aviemore nestles in the broad expanse of the Strath of the mighty River Spey, between the stunning beauty of the mountains in the Cairngorm massif and the haunting magic of the Monadhliath mountains - both with their caps of spring snow. Crystal rivers and lochs sparkle from the shadow of the Caledonian Pine Forests while the moors and peat hags cast their own special spells.

Aviemore is holding their sixth Aviemore Walking Festival which will take place from 9th to 16th May 2009.

The events take place within the beautiful scenery of the Cairngorms National Park.

The programme offers great variety from short leisurely strolls through forests and along river and loch banks to more strenuous hill walks to the mountains over 4,000 feet high. These include Cairngorm, Ben Macdui, Braeriach and also many of the local munros.

We can assure you that if you stay at Lochan Mor Lodge, or Creag Mhor you will have a very special holiday.

A Scottish Burn in the Cairngorms National Park near Aviemore



A Scottish Burn in the Cairngorms National Park near Aviemore.

The burns are running well at this time of year, still a bit of snow melt coming off the higher mountains. A great time of year to be out in the hills of Scotland.

Aviemore Cairngorm Mountain the sixth Highest Mountain in Scotland a good family climb



Aviemore Cairngorm Mountain the sixth Highest Mountain in Scotland a good family climb.

When the weather is suitable, Cairngorm Mountain makes a great family day out and a relatively easy climb, in good weather you have the security of the developed ski area and the possibility of refreshment in the Ptarmigan at the top of the Funicular Railway to celebrate success.
Combining this on a circuit of first climbing Ben Macdui, the second highest mountain in Scotland, makes it a harder 7-8 hour day and well worth that celebratory drink at the Ptarmigan.

Situated at the Heart of the Cairngorms National Park, pretty much right in the Centre of Scotland, ideally placed for exploring the immediate area and day-tripping to the surrounding areas, these top quality houses provide the ideal location for your holiday.
