From Inverness Cawdor Castle Hairy Coos and Cairngorms Day Tour
Overview
Start your adventure on this small-group tour at the ancient Clava Cairns, one of Scotland’s finest-preserved Bronze Age cemeteries - where history whispers through the stones! Next, we’re off to Cawdor Castle, steeped in legend about a donkey and a mysterious dream that chose its very spot. As you wander through its storied halls, you’ll feel a wee tingle of wonder being in such a remarkable place. Then, say hello to Scotlands' favourite four-legged locals - the hairy coo! Take a stroll through the ancient Scots Pine Forest, where you can admire Scotland’s rare native trees standing tall. After all that exploring, it’s time for a bite in the lively town of Aviemore - perfect for a good lunch and a bit of banter! Our next stop takes us into the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park, where jaw-dropping scenery awaits and, if we’re lucky, a glimpse of local wildlife. We’ll wrap up our adventure at Rothiemurchus Farm Shop, where you can treat yourself to some scrumptious local goodies.
