The Glenlivet Estate

Lying between the Ladder Hills and the Cromdale hills, Glenlivet Estate sits within Scotland’s beautiful Cairngorms National Park. It is made up of two broad straths – that of the rivers Avon and Livet – with a special character all its own. Boasting some of Grampian Highlands’ finest landscapes including clear rushing burns, sheltered glens and woods, wide expanses of heather-covered hills; visitors to this area will find peace, quietness and open space in abundance. Activities for all ages can be found here at any time throughout the year: walking & mountain biking on an extensive network across 90 square miles providing access to many remote parts; fishing & birdwatching opportunities abound; skiing is possible due to winter snow lasting into springtime when skiing can take place at Lecht or cross country ski trails on undulating forested terrain provide challenge too! Follow ancient whisky roads which were used by smugglers during times past or visit Scalan’s famous ‘hidden’ Catholic Seminary (and much more). Other nearby attractions include Strathspey beaches/fishing villages along Moray Coast as well as castles in both Grampian & Royal Deeside regions being only an hour away via scenic roads where driving remains pleasurable! Good quality restaurants/hotels/inns are also located inside estate alongside self catering cottages + farmhouse B&B options so you’ll have no difficulty finding a comfortable place for your stay whilst warmly welcomed by locals who still uphold traditional courtesies even today. In 2013 saw new mountain bike trail centre opening offering blue+red routes over 21km incl some longest sustained downhill singletrack around UK (& suitable families)!
