A 2.5-mile Ranger-led walk following the Tomintoul Circular trail.
Starting near the bird hide, which gives great views over one of Scotland’s best areas for breeding wading birds, we will see land management to help these endangered species. The walk continues along the Conglass water and also has wonderful views over the River Avon to the Cairngorms.
