Fishing in the Cairngorms »

This beautiful and bountiful area is a mecca for anglers from all over the world. The River Spey is Scotland’s longest and fastest river and it enjoys a high reputation with fly fishermen everywhere. It is the epitome of a classic salmon river. Trout fishing is plentiful making casting in the Cairngorms a catching experience.

Great Golf Courses »

This valley of the River Spey has some of the best heathland golf in Britain. Golfers who have discovered the Cairngorms came back time and time again.

Wildlife of the Cairngorms »

With crested tits and crossbills in the pinewoods, and ospreys now common, this is great country for birdwatchers. Among the mammals, reintroduced reindeer are a local speciality.
