The Village of Laggan - Cairngorms National Park

Laggan Village:

The village www.laggan.com lies in the heart of the Scottish Highlands just off the A9 between Dalwhinnie www.dalwhinnie.org and Newtonmore www.newtonmore.com. It has become something of a tourist attraction recently because much of the television series Monarch of the Glen was filmed here, the village being known as the fictitious Glenbogle. It is also known for its extraordinary variety of wildlife, from golden eagles soaring across the Cairngorm National Park www.cairngorms.co.uk to red deer, pine martens, crossbills and the rare crested tit and red squirrel.

 

 

Laggan Attractions:

Laggan www.laggan.com is ideally situated for anyone wishing to explore the whole park but it’s particularly well-known for the fishing on the River Spey and in the surrounding lochs www.lochinsh.com. Hill walking along the Spey Valley is equally popular but it takes a little extra fitness to tackle the beautiful Corrieyairack Pass. The skiing on the CairnGorm www.cairngormmountain.co.uk attracts visitors from all over the world each winter.

 

Laggan’s main attraction, however, is its Wolftrax Mountain Bike Centre www.laggan.com/wolftrax.htm. Set amongst dramatic Highland scenery of the Strathmashie Forest a blue grade fun park, technical red route and the extreme challenge of a double black diamond provide 18 kilometres of outdoor thrills (and possibly spills!). Parking at base camp www.basecampmtb.com is free and there are plenty of facilities on hand: bike hire, spares and repairs, café, showers etc.

 

Highland Activities www.highlandactivities.co.uk run centres throughout Scotland. They offer the widest range of outdoor pursuits from archery and canoeing to tomahawk throwing, paintballing and white water rafting. The nearest golf course is in Newtonmore www.newtonmoregolf.co.uk a few miles up the road but if it’s recreation of a different kind you’re after, Dalwhinnie’s world-famous distillery www.discovering-distilleries.com/dalwhinnie is only a couple of minutes south. It produces some of the finest smooth, full-bodied and warm malts.

 

The Laggan 10km road race www.laggan.com/race.htm is growing in popularity. Run in late May or early June it attracts entrants from across the country. For the less enthusiastic there’s also a one-mile fun run on the same weekend.

 

There’s plenty of self-catering accommodation www.CairngormsHolidayCottages.com in an area suited for any summer or winter break.
