Things to do in Moray beginning with C

So you are looking for things to do in Moray – well here is some help for you. However as there is so much choice I am going through one letter at a time and in this blog I am just going to be talking about activities beginning with C.

C for Cairngorms National Park

Whatever you do don’t miss the Cairngorms – some of Scotland’s most famous mountains. If you are driving up to Blervie House from Edinburgh then I would suggest you plan your route using the Snow Roads. This route is some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland with mountains, moorland, Highland Villages and Castles. Take the time to stop and admire the viewpoints – take special notice of beautiful but harsh Glen Shee. Alternatively plan to a day trip just to see the Queen’s Highland Residence Balmoral Castle, and at the same time enjoy Ballater Village, take a walk around Loch Muick or visit at Mar Lodge and appreciate the vastness of the Cairngorms.

These unique Bronze Age circular tombs and stones are said to be the original inspiration for The Outlander series.

More Things to Do in Moray beginning with C – C is for Culloden

Talking of Outlander don’t miss Culloden Battlefield and Clava Cairns is right next door. The visitor centre really draws you into the last battle of the Jacobite Rising in 1745 and is very much a part of Scottish history today.
