Just show me Grantown-on-Spey Cottages
An impressive small town brimming with striking Georgian and Victorian architecture, Grantown-on-Spey borders the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of the Highlands. You'll find interesting shops, a variety of restaurants, cafés and bars, a fascinating heritage museum and some delightful Grantown-on-Spey cottages.
You have found the gateway to the Malt Whisky Trail and can expect to sample a few wee drams during your stay from some of the world's top distilleries. If it happens to be springtime, you may be here for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, a 10-day celebration.
You have also located one of the best places to catch trout and salmon, so buy a weekly permit and fish on the Spey. Prefer a smoked variety? Call in at the Spey Valley Smokehouse and watch the finest smoked salmon being produced. Then stock up the larder of your Grantown-on-Spey cottage for a gourmet holiday treat!
Craving adventure? All the attractions of the great outdoors are here - climbing, kayaking and canoeing, as well as winter skiing and snowboarding. There are walks for everyone too, from trails through the local Anagach Woods, to longer, more demanding walks along the Speyside Way. Play golf? The town's stunning 18-hole parkland golf course welcomes guests.
For a fantastic family day out, just a mile outside town is the Revack Estate, where pretty gardens, orchid displays, woodland trails and children's adventure park guarantee something for all ages.
For a taste of the Highlands, a Grantown-on-Spey cottage should rank high on your list of favourites.
