Everything we read on their website is TRUE, and happened: we attended an amazing demonstration of the shepherd leading the sheep with the help of his dogs, and could participate in shearing a sheep (under Neil’s watchful eye and instructions). He gave plenty of information on his job, and answered any questions the group asked. Then we met the collie pups and the orphan lambs (thanks to Neil’s son for this!), and could buy wee books for the kids: “A visit to Working Sheepdogs”, written and illustrated by Glynis Ross… lovely! Too bad we couldn’t understand almost anything… due to our being foreigners, and to Neil’s strong accent… it was an enjoyable and PRICELESS EXPERIENCE anyway :-D An ADVICE: RE-CHECK THE DEMONSTRATION TIME of your visit! We got there before 4pm, and were told that the on that day, the demonstration was at 5pm… :-o

What a lovely walk through a woodland trail from the Glenmore visitor centre along the Revoan Pass the the Green Loch. We met some local people who told us that the water colour is because the fairies wash their socks in the water in the evening. Magical place.

A great place to let off steam with dogs/kids and explore the ruins, with a short walk to the top. Good views and interesting history with boards to read. Ideal for a short stop as you go past.

I have cycled on sections of the Speyside Way which is excellent. The signposting is great and the surfaces well maintained and good for cycling. The countryside is stunning.

I booked onto a quad bike tour around the estate and was blown away with how lovely it is. After the tour we stayed to explore the loch and it’s beautiful inland beach! We were so lucky with the weather and paddling in the loch was just what we needed. The estate itself is huge, and from what I saw, very well kept! Amazing place.

Stumbled across these sculptures on a river walk. Anyone who puts the trail or garden down simply isn't 'getting it' - look at the themes of the sculptures and Frank's ideology and final wishes. Lovely woodland, great surrounding views, thought provoking art and it's free of charge. People need to open their eyes and engage their brain instead of being negative.
8. The Old Packhorse Bridge

Easy to access close to the village centre with great views and lucky enough to see it with a piper with the autumn colours in full flow.

Reviewed By RossOO - Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom
Nightmare journey caused by Scotrail delays and changes to carriages meant our first class seats were lost. Not happy but what could not be faulted was the customer service at the station provided by an empathetic and helpful lady whose name I have forgotten otherwise I'd share but you know who you are helping me on the 1027 to Edinburgh (finally getting the 1123)
