Cairngorms and Speyside, Scotland – Whisky Country

This was our first visit to this region of Scotland end of May 2014 and what an experience! Very dramatic scenery and amazing wildlife. We had hoped to go camping for five days, but managed 2 days in the end at Aberlour Campsite, highly recommended if you’re after a quiet site.

On this occasion we only managed to visit a couple of distillieries, but this is a good excuse to return, not that we need one! Also managed to climb another Munro, our 5th.
