The Allt Lairaidh is a pretty stream that cascades down from the high ground of the Monadhliath. It finishes its journey by emptying into the majestic River Spey. The trail along this section of the stream is part of the Newtonmore Wildcat Trail, a lovely loop of the village that's adorned with 132 wildcat models.
