Cairngorms Nature Festival

TV’s Nick Baker is our special guest, you can join him on a special family event or hear him talk about his life as a wildlife presenter. At Glenmuick Estate you can learn how highland estates work with nature, or if cooking is your thing you can join a foraging walk to find edible delights from Scotland’s Natural Larder.

In Tomintoul you can join the wildcat project officer on a walk to look for signs of the elusive Scottish Wildcat or experience an off road landrover tour to catch a glimpse of lekking black grouse or breeding waders.
