Pine Cottage

Wildcat Trail

Follows **10km of undulating woodland and moorland paths** with moderate climbs through Strathspey's pine forests. Terrain varies from soft forest tracks to rocky sections—suitable for older children (8+) but not buggies due to tree roots and uneven ground. Dogs welcome and will love the varied scents and burns to splash through. Worth it for ancient Caledonian pinewoods, red squirrel spotting opportunities, and sweeping Highland views without tackling a Munro.

Curlew Trail

Winds through varied Highland terrain with moderate inclines and some steeper sections—expect a proper workout. The trail's length and rugged ground make it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for very young children, though older kids who enjoy adventure will love it. Dogs welcome and will relish the open moorland stretches. Rewards walkers with classic Scottish scenery, wildlife spotting opportunities, and that satisfying sense of remoteness without venturing too far from civilisation.

West Terrace Circular

Loops around West Terrace in the Cairngorms with moderate inclines through mixed woodland and open hillside. Uneven forest paths and some rocky sections make it tricky for buggies, though manageable for steady walkers aged 6+. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards with expansive Highland views across Strathspey and glimpses of native Scots pine – a proper taste of the Cairngorms without committing to a full mountain day.
