Tomintoul, Scotland, United Kingdom
Stronavaich lies between Tomintoul (a few miles to the north) and The Lecht Ski Area (a few miles to the south). Tomintoul is the highest village in the highlands and has a visitor centre, a collection of shops including a small general store/Post Office (selling basic food and supplies) plus several cafes, pubs and hotels that serve hot food as wells as an excellent restaurant.
Whatever your interests, abilities or energy levels Stronavaich provides a perfect base to explore this beautiful, unspoilt corner of Scotland - there’s plenty to keep you busy right here on our doorstep!
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: Nestling within the eastern Cairngorms, the area around Stronavaich offers a stunning natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts including mountaineers, hikers, bikers and skiers. 'Traditional' rural sports such as golf, fishing, and pony trekking are also catered for locally. Above all, these superb landscapes provide unlimited opportunities for nature lovers to explore and enjoy the scenery and to discover and observe the rich wildlife within it.
WHISKY TRAILS: The area around the Stronavaich has the largest concentration of whisky distilleries in Scotland with more than 50 being located within a 40-mile radius. World famous brands like Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and, Macallan are nearby, plus many other well-known brands (and lesser-known gems) in nearby Speyside and beyond.
HERITAGE AND CULTURE: With over 300 castles, stately homes and historic ruins this corner of Scotland boasts more historic sites per acre than anywhere else in the country. Plenty of these are within easy striking distance of Stronavaich, including the striking landmark of Corgarff Castle, the Queen's residence at Balmoral, the iconic baronial-style Craigievar Castle (said to have inspired Walt Disney) as well as lesser known 'hidden gems' like Ballindalloch Castle. Just over the Ladder Hills behind Stronavaich, lies the remote hidden seminary of Scalan which played a vital, secret and truly fascinating role in the survival of the Catholic Church in Scotland.
