Walking
The Best Walks in The Cairngorms
Walking in the Cairngorms is a wonderful experience, as this beautiful mountain range in Scotland offers a wide variety of landscapes and trails for hikers of all levels.
Gynack Mill Trail
A walk along the Gynack Burn takes you through the woods on good paths with interpretation panels describing the natural surroundings and historical context. 1 hour. Easy.
Raitts Township
A way-marked linear route on a grassy trail through fields and juniper woodland to the ruined settlement at Raitts. Little remains of the buildings. This is an atmospheric site given special significance as this settlement has been recreated at the Highland Folk Museum. 1.5 – 2 hours there and back, can be extended by combining with the Tom Baraidh Circular. Dogs should be kept on a lead at the township site itself due to sheep. Easy, with some uneven ground.
An Lochan Uaine (Green Loch)
The Green Loch is hidden amongst the Caledonian pines at the bottom of the Sgor Mountain. It is a short walk from the Glenmore Visitor Centre. According to legend, the Loch’s unique green colour is the result of the local fairies. The fairies (or seelies in the local tongue) would come and wash their clothes leaving a dazzling emerald hue. A must-see!
