Bonnie Bridge and Stream

Highlight • Forest

There is a walking route around Aviemore. This part goes through forest, meadows, streams, etc. And to bridge those streams you need bridges of course.

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: Boat of Garten to Aviemore

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

The Boat Hotel is right next to the railway station. Whilst sitting outside you might see the Strathspey steam railway as it stops in the station. Lovely old carriages! The train goes from Aviemore to Broomhill and back.
