Today I headed to Rothiemurchus which is the
area beside Aviemore. This is certainly an area where you could spend the
whole day and a picnic around the loch would be a real treat. I had
a Scotch pie, buttered role, a piece of millionaires shortbread and a pint
of milk :-) While there was some
sunshine I didn't have much luck with it when taking my photographs which
is a real pity as the area is most beautiful. I took two sets of
pictures.. one around the hills of Rothiemurchus and the other around the
loch.

I was really wanting to show you the
contrasting scenery of the moors and hills and then the ancient woodland
around the loch

The above photos are from the Rothiemurchus
Visitor Centre and I must say I was impressed with the range and quality
of the goods on offer along with the friendliness and helpfulness of the
staff.
I now headed of to see the
loch...

There are truly excellent
woodland paths that take you all around the loch, a walk of some 3 miles.
The above picture if of the visitor centre and you'll have noted the
castle ruins on the island in the loch.
