Find your Light

Imagine a place where the winter sunrise lights up the mountains, follows the rivers, and filters through native woodlands, awakening wildlife to a new day.

A place where Mother Nature conducts the orchestra, and we can only be inspired.

Our existence in the mountains is temporary, our presence felt only for a moment in time.

At the close of day, we leave only footprints behind, but have our memories to share with loved ones.

The East Cairngorms is teeming with wildlife visible wherever you respectfully wander.
