Luxury in Aviemore Self Catering in the Cairngorms National Park



Luxury in Aviemore Self Catering in the Cairngorms National Park.

Go on spoil yourselves, come and stay at Lochan Mor Lodge it could cost you a lot less than you think, the Youth Hostel can often cost more per head than this.

A break in the Cairngorms National Park and you will enjoy all that the area around Aviemore has to offer. Aviemore is situated pretty much right in the Centre of Scotland, ideally placed for exploring the area and day-tripping to the surrounding areas.

You will find lots to do, 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.

We can assure you that if you stay at Lochan Mor Lodge, it will be a lot more comfortable than YHA accommodation. ( Not that there is anything wrong with YHA, if that's what you want )

For some great photos of the area and things to do and see visit cairngorms scotland.blogspot and scotland.blogspot

Aviemore RSPB Loch Garten Reserve Cairngorms National Park

Aviemore RSPB Loch Garten Reserve Cairngorms National Park.

Star species at Loch Garten Reserve.

The star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the Loch Garten Reserve.

Crested tit

The soft trilling of the crested tit can be heard as you walk around the trails through the forest. They spend a lot of time in the tops of the pines, but also visit the feeders near the Osprey Centre and come down to eye level.

Goldeneye

Goldeneyes nest in specially provided nestboxes around the edges of Loch Garten and Loch Mallachie and dive for food in the water.

Capercaillie

Come to the special early morning 'caper-watches' in April and May to see these spectacular grouse displaying at their communal 'lek'.

Scottish crossbill

Listen for the repetitive, hard, metallic 'chipping' notes of Scottish crossbills as you walk around the trails through the Ancient Caledonian Pine Forest. Scan the treetops carefully and you may see them clinging on to branches, stripping seeds from the pine cones.

Osprey

Enjoy the antics of the famous breeding pair of ospreys from the comfort of the Osprey centre. You can also see live video footage of the action - beamed to the centre direct from the nest.

When we visit the area we stay at Lochan Mor or Creag Mhor.
