Rothiemurchus is a special and beautiful place in the Highlands of Scotland, at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Loved and cared for almost 500 years by generations of the Grant family, it has an exceptional charm which stays in the memories of visitors.
The estate presents a unique blend of stunning landscapes, exciting outdoor activities, and locally sourced Scottish crafts and foods. You may choose simply to walk or cycle around the carefully maintained paths, taking in the spectacular scenery. Or perhaps you would like to take part in some of the many outdoor activities on offer; from clay shooting, fishing, quad bike trekking, pony hacking and off-road driving, to archery, wildlife watching and canoeing.
If however you would like to know more about the natural environment of this beautiful place, then you would appreciate the invaluable advice available from one of the friendly Rothiemurchus Rangers – one of Britain’s most expert Countryside Ranger Services.
