Sheltered from the prevailing winds by the Cairngorms the climate of the area is surprisingly dry. Winter snows can last well into spring, allowing downhill skiing at the Lecht, or challenging cross country skiing on the undulating hills and forest trails.

At the heart of Scotland's whisky country and on well known Malt Whisky Trail, much of the best of the Highlands is within easy reach of Glenlivet. The many attractions of Strathspey, the beaches and fishing villages of the Moray Coast and the Castle country of Grampian and Royal Deeside, are all within an hour or so's drive on quiet, scenic roads, where driving is still a pleasure.

The community welcomes visitors and traditional courtesies remain, in an area where there is still a sense of peace and quiet that is fast disappearing elsewhere. << back
