Grantown-on-Spey
The town was founded in 1765 by the young clan chief, The ‘Good’ Sir James Grant of Grant who planned the new town to improve the lives of his tenants. Castle Grant is a handsome building one mile north of the town and many other fine Georgian and Victorian dwellings, churches and houses grace The Square and the avenues.

Situated within the Cairngorm National Park and surrounded by the ancient Anagach Woods the town is in an area of spectacular beauty. The River Spey and Viewpoint can be reached by woodland trails a short walk from the cottage. The Cromdale Hills, the Cairngorm Mountains and railway are only a short drive away where excellent winter sports facilities are based.

Here in the heart of Strathspey there is an abundance of wildlife and the opportunity to access many outdoor activities. Hill walking, climbing, fishing (river and loch) and the championship and challenging golf courses of the Spey Valley.
Many whisky distilleries, historic castles including Brodie and Cawdor and the sealife of the Moray Firth are all within an hour’s drive of Grantown.
