Late spring in the Cairngorms is a great time to wander. The snow patches add more drama to the scene and cool spring air makes very pleasant walking.

One of our favourite walks in Scotland, the Lairig Ghru was once one of the main routes used for driving cattle and transporting goods through the Cairngorm mountains.

There are a few ways to approach the summit of Scotland's second highest mountain, Ben Macdui. The walk from Linn o' Dee, near Braemar, was recently voted as one of the best in Britain.
