It’s so beautiful! And so quiet as well when you get off the beaten track ☺️
Great video, this area is local to me and I still haven't done the Speyside Way south of Aviemore. On my list now.

It’s such a beautiful part of the cairngorms that doesn’t get a lot of credit 🥰 means it’ll be nice and quiet for you!
Surprised a new awning came before getting a reverse camera and the crumbling rear end repaired.

Haha it’s all priorities 😂 funny story about that coming up soon though 😆
Hari Om Ah, that's better, back in your natural environment! I'll have to check some of that out - yes, have driven past The Barracks so many times, never stopped... I just spent three days on the Three Lochs Forest Drive - I highly recommend that for a getaway! YAM xx

It’s good to be home 😁 got a lot of Scotland trip planned so we will need to check out that drive ☺️
Me and my wife use to live a few miles just north of kingussie in a very small village called Laggan, if you head a few miles further you will come to a place called the Laggan Wolftrax, a little up the road you'll find what is now a gin brewery (daffy's gin) located at Strathmashie House (was our old house before selling back in 2016) you can stay there as its also a bnb...worth a look see

Haha unfortunately none on this route as they are all to the north of aviemore! We will need to head out north next time and sample a few 😆
Hey welcome back to the homeland! Yes Ellie has been missed. And I bet you felt the same about the true Scottish weather :) lol Also can't be a legit H2H video without a couple mishaps along the way huh?🤣 That yurt place you ate in was so cool. loved how you found that swing the middle of the forest..and it held up too! Shinty..never heard of it. Yep it does seem like it's not for the faint of heart if one wants to participate. lol
