About 20 miles (32km) south-east of Inverness and 80 miles (129km) north of Perth, at the foothills of the Cairngorms, is Aviemore. The village has long been a nodal point on the tourist map for this part of the Highlands, although, in recent years, it has been criticised for its rather tired and disagreeable 1960s style architecture. This problem is currently being addressed and there is no doubt that it will return to the favoured resort it was when first established some 30 years ago. The majority of the concrete blocks you see were devised and built as part of a grand plan to accommodate more tourists and extend the holiday season especially to take advantage of the nearby skiing facilities. Originally, the village was little more than a few cottages and a couple of hotels but this local initiative has created a haven of bistros, bars, amusement arcades and numerous hotels. The Aviemore Centre contains an ice rink, swimming pool, theatre and cinema so there is always something to do even in the foulest weather.The nearby Rothiemurchus Estate has done exemplary work in providing an outdoor experience for visitors and there is a host of interesting activities presented here. Forest and wildlife walks are organised with rangers through the ancient Caledonian Pinewoods or following the River Spey. Other more educational projects are available as well as farm tours, estate tours, clay pigeon shooting and fishing. The Rothiemurcus Visitor Centre is found on the B970 just before Coylumbridge, Tel: 01479 810858.
