Art Sculptures on the Speyside Way near Aviemore

Highlight • Trail

Lighting doesn't have to be boring. A number of artful lampposts were placed here on the orbital around Aviemore. These work on solar energy!

Speyside Way: Aviemore to Boat of Garten

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An extremely tranquil, pretty and (rare in the region) mostly flat trail, the Speyside Way extends much further than this section. This is a particularly scenic part though; plenty of wildlife and vegetation, a good smooth path and great views.

Nestled within the Abernethy Nature Reserve, Loch Garten is a haven for wildlfe, a serene loch surrounded by Caledonian pine forest. If you're lucky you might spot a rare capercaille, Scottish crossbill or osprey.
