Lochindorb Castle
Lochindorb Castle is located in the South East of the Scottish Highlands, on the way to Aviemore. The castle sits on the partly man made loch, so of course if you would like to cross over to see it, you will need a boat! Lochindorb has an amazing atmosphere because the castle is set in such an idyllic location. Around a 30-minute drive from Aviemore, the remote location is the perfect place to relax and soak in more Scottish history and beauty.
The journey to the Scottish Highlands is amazing!
Carrbridge Packhorse Bridge
Located in the Cairngorms National Park is a very iconic visitor attraction, the Old Packhorse Bridge. This is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands, running across River Dulnain. Surrounded by the charm of the Cairngorms National Park, this is another place to visit after walking the Speyside Way. Also, the bridge is an ideal place for keen photographers!
