Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Cairngorm Mountain, CairnGorm Ski Area, Aviemore PH22 1RB Scotland

We start our tour by travelling over the Slochd summit into the Strathspey and Badenoch region of the Highlands of Scotland, before making our way into the Cairngorm Mountains. Take in the fabulous vistas, as we ascend the Cairn Gorm mountain (meaning “blue cairns”) and investigate whether the peaks are dusted with snow. Perhaps you will come across some of the reindeer, the only herd of these magnificent creatures in the UK-

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Loch Morlich, Glenmore Forest Park, Aviemore PH22 1QU Scotland

Stop At: Aviemore PH22, UK

Enjoying some free time for lunch in Aviemore, there are a number of excellent eateries and your guide will be able to advise you

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Ruthven Barracks, Kingussie, Newtonmore Scotland

We visit the foreboding Ruthven Barracks, which despite being ruined, demonstrates how dank and despairing 18th century military architecture was. Ruthven is also where the defeated Jacobite troops congregated in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (1746), ready to fight on, only to receive word from Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) that the 1745 uprising was over. For fans of the Outlander franchise, Ruthven Barracks will give an eerie insight into what a military prison/barracks, similar to that in which Jamie was incarcerated, may have actually been like.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Tomatin Distillery Visitor Centre, Inverness IV13 7YT Scotland

After enjoying some free time for lunch in Aviemore it’s time to return to Inverness, but not before a visit to Tomatin Distillery for a fantastic tour of the whisky distillery, and of course, a taste of the award winning single malt.
