Your guide to Boat of Garten
All About Boat of Garten
Boat of Garten is a rural village in the north of the Scottish Highlands. Around 45 minutes southeast of Inverness and just over two hours west of Aberdeen, this quiet community sits on the banks of the meandering River Spey and neighbours the wild expanse of the Cairngorms National Park, an excellent location for wildlife-spotting — look out for wildcats, deer, and golden eagles throughout the reserve. Continually inhabited since at least 1600, Boat of Garten has established a reputation as a premier destination for golf, birdwatching at RSPB Scotland Loch Garten Nature Centre, and hiking in the surrounding countryside.
Boat of Garten is a great jumping-off point for exploring nearby lochs, scenic highlands, and towering mountain peaks the Highland region is known for. In addition, dozens of archaeological sites and castle ruins are located throughout the surrounding area, including Castle Roy in Nethy Bridge 10 minutes away. There are also wonderful museums like the Highland Folk Museum in Newtownmore and larger cities such as Aberdeen and Inverness to explore nearby too.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Boat of Garten
Short, mild summers and long, chilly winters are the mainstays of Boat of Garten’s Scottish Highland climate. For the best chance of staying warm and dry while exploring the village and its surrounding countryside, booking Boat of Garten accommodation between June and September will ensure the warmest temperatures and driest weather. Several destinations in the wider Highland area host events during the warmer months. One of the most popular is a centuries-old celebration of Scottish culture featuring festivities, competitions, and traditional performances continuing one of the country’s most cherished traditions. The winter months bring temperatures that tend to hover around freezing, along with a moderate dusting of snow from time to time, so warm clothing and sturdy footwear are essential.
Top things to do in Boat of Garten
Cairngorms National Park
Adventurers come to the United Kingdom’s largest national park to explore the hiking trails and cycling opportunities throughout the area’s dense woodlands, sprawling high country plains, and towering, snow-capped mountain peaks. In addition to the dramatic scenery, at least a dozen castles and archeological sites — some dating back to the 13th century — are scattered throughout the park for visitors to discover.
Highland Folk Museum
This open-air museum in the neighbouring community of Newtonmore is dedicated to preserving and highlighting traditional Scottish heritage through interactive exhibits and live presentations. Here you’ll find immaculately restored and recreated structures, as well as actors and crafting activities that showcase how Scottish societies have built their homes, worked the land, and lived on a day-to-day basis.
Community Garden
Maintained by a dedicated group of local volunteers, the Boat of Garten Community Garden is home to a colourful display of native plants, manicured flower beds, and a diverse array of bird and insect populations. Walking paths are available for visitors to enjoy, while picnic areas are on-hand for lunch with a view.
