📍Loch Garten

Loch an Eilein Castle Loch an Eilein is a small irregular shaped, freshwater loch in the Rothiemurchus Forest about 5 km (3.1 mi) south of Aviemore, Scotland in Cairngorms National Park. Loch an Eilein comes from the Scottish Gaelic and means ‘Loch of the island’. The loch is considered to be beautiful and walks around it are popular. In the late 18th and early 19th century, the loch was used mainly for two things. On the banks of the loch there is a limestone kiln where the limestone was collected from a rockface looking over the loch. Also loggers used the connecting river to float logs down to the wood-treating factories downstream. Rob Roy and other cattle rustlers used the loch, and one side of the loch is called 'Robbers Way’. On an island in the middle of the Loch are the ruins of a small 14th century castle. It was originally constructed as a place of refuge from thieves and threatening activities.The castle is said to have once been the property of Alexander Stewart the Wolf of Badenoch. The castle was the site of conflict. The Jacobites, retreating from Cromdale in 1690, besieged the castle. Dame Grizel Mor Grant, widow of the fifth laird Grant, held the castle against the Jacobites.The castle fell out of use in the late 18th century. The castle may have originally been connected to the shore by a causeway. The causeway became submerged when the water level in the loch was raised by estate work and the building of a dam in the 18th century.

St Andrew’s Aviemore. I do love a wee saltire, and this one on The Church of Scotland on Grampian Road is cool. It’s a bit damp outside so chilling for a bit before heading out 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Magical Places Carrbridge, Highlands of Scotland This video was captured in the beautiful historic village of Carrbridge, in the Highlands of Scotland. This is the view of the 18th century packhorse bridge, in which the area is famous for. If you ever get a chance to visit the Highlands, I would recommend a visit to that popular tourist spot and also the surrounding areas of Boat of Garten and Aviemore – all… Magical Places

Great weekend away with the boys in Aviemore 🏞️

Cairngorm National Park

Aviemore et les Cairngorms 1er au 4 septembre 2025 Nous avons quitté Ullapool pour nous rendre à Aviemore en passant par les vestiges du château d’Urquhart sur le bord du fameux Loch Ness et Inverness. D’Aviemore nous avons rayonné vers le Parc de la forêt Glenmore et le mont Cairngorm et un autre jour en direction de la rivière Spey pour visiter un moulin à laine traditionnel, non-industriel à Knockando. C’était notre dernière étape avant de revenir à Édimbourg et de retourner la voiture de location. Gloria, notre navigatrice à bord (GPS) nous a été fort utile: turn right, turn left, turn slight right, congestion ahead, etc. avec l’accent british! 😁 Elle va nous manquer 🥲! Voiture chinoise hybride électrique Byd Seal U qu’on nous a louée. Confortable, très très bien équipée mais beaucoup trop large pour de nombreuses routes écossaises. 😬
