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.
