ITINERARY

DAY 1: ARRIVAL DAY - TRAVEL TO THE CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK

Failt to bonny Scottland! We welcome you on this wonderful walking expedition!

Travel north, perhaps by train, to the enchanting beauty of the Cairngorms National Park. Disembark in the village of Aviemore, where your guide and chaperones will be waiting on the platform.

This afternoon, you will visit a nature reserve at nearby Loch Garten. A short walk in the pine forest will be accompanied by birdsong and dappled light.

Later, return to Aviemore to check into the accommodation. Once you arrive at your accommodation, your sighted guide will help you check in and do a room orientation. Here, you can have some time to unpack and relax before you meet again to go over your holiday itinerary one more time. Then you can have some time to rest and prepare for dinner.

Journey time: short walk (2 km)

DAY 2: THE ANGEL'S LOCHAN AND HEATHER MOORS

Today, we will explore the Rothiemurchus Forest and beyond on a hike to a stunningly located loch. Our route follows a good trail through ancient pine trees and a narrow pass before reaching the lochan, which sparkles green in the sunshine—leading to many myths and local legends about why that is! If we have the energy, we’ll continue beyond the lochan, breaking out of the forest and onto open heather moors.

After returning to the accommodation, you can rest and freshen up, ready for dinner close by.

Journey time: full-day walking activity (8 km)

DAY 3: COASTAL HIKE AND VISIT CULLODEN BATTLEFIELD

After a lovely breakfast, we will head north this morning to visit Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobite Rebellion, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, came to a bloody end. Learn about one of the most harrowing battles in Scottish history and walk across the rough moor where the Jacobites and the Government fought in 1746.

After lunch, enjoy a beautiful coastal walk, identifying flora and fauna with your knowledgeable guide, before returning to Aviemore.

Following a well-deserved rest in the guest house, we head out for a traditional dinner nearby.

Journey time: full-day walking activity (6 km)

DAY 4: HIKING IN THE CAIRNGORMS

Today, enjoy a hike in the beautiful Cairngorms National Park. At over 4500 sq km, it is the largest National Park in the UK and makes it Scotland’s most prolific whisky-making region with miles of winding rivers. Led by your sighted guide, we will start from a high trailhead and head out into the foothills below the cliff-bound Northern Corries. It’s a high mountain environment, so it’s a real contrast to the previous days. Scotland’s only herd of reindeer roam free in this area, but in case we miss them, we will visit their local paddock after our hike so you can get a close-up and learn about how they came to be here.

A final night in Aviemore allows us to reflect on a special few days together.

Journey time: full-day walking activity (7 km)

DAY 5: DEPARTURE DAY

After breakfast, we will leave our lovely guest house and say goodbye Mar sin leat to the Highlands.

We will help you check out of your accommodation and take you to the train station so you can start your journey home.

Journey time: short drive from the accommodation to the train station
