Special Offer

See the best of the beauty of the Cairngorms with a guided tour

March 23rd 2023

Andy, host of Fraoch Lodge, designs and leads an extensive collection of guided and self-guided tours.  These are hiking tours not wildlife safaris, but It’s your sure way of seeing the very best parts of the Cairngorms National Park.   Follow in the footsteps of the BBC Wild Isles film crew and immerse yourself in the Caledonian pinewoods. Visit wildlife hides to spot pine martens and badgers and look skyward to see the amazing birdlife that shares this magnificent area.  For more information about the tours that Andy offers contact Froach Lodge.
