Cairngorms

The extensive path networks in the glens and forests surrounding the high Cairngorms make this area perfect for relaxing walks. Marked trails lead through woods, moors and by rivers and lochs, often with views of the surrounding mountains.

Brechin was such a beautiful part of my drive around Scotland. The road is very narrow and a bit nerve wracking to drive but well worth it.

One of the most beautiful, desolate and almost alien places on the planet I've ever visited. Also I had a great day for visiting to the Diesel Saturday.

Brechin is a very beautiful place to pass. There are lots of different little shops and great restaurants. Highly recommend visiting the Murder on the Brechin Express if you have a chance!
