Boat Of Garten

Overview

Boat of Garten, a peaceful Highland village, is set amongst heather clad hills and native woodland in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.

Abundant wildlife, magnificent scenery, many sporting and leisure activities and a traditional Highland welcome await you. Play our superb James Braid designed 18-hole golf course or fish the Spey. Cycle on excellent tracks and quiet roads or travel on a scenic steam railway - it's all here for your Highland experience.

Ideally located, lying adjacent to the mighty River Spey in the Cairngorms National Park, Boat of Garten lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty, centrally located in the Highlands of Scotland. The perfect place from which to explore or simply unwind. Sample our unrivalled and varied hospitality with accommodation in and around the village. All local accommodation is privately owned with each establishment offering their own style of personal Highland hospitality.

Just a mile and a half from Boat of Garten is Abernethy Forest RSPB Reserve on the shore of Loch Garten. Between April and August you can see the famous ospreys at their nest, hopefully with some chicks. In spring you might be lucky enough to see capercaillie, if you come very early in the morning.
