Activities:
Family favourites over the years consist of:
The Findhorn Foundation and Eco Village:
The Findhorn Foundation is part of an international spiritual community
living, studying and working together in the northeast of Scotland. It
was founded in 1962 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and Dorothy Maclean on the
principles that God, or the source of life, is accessible to each of us
at all times, and that nature, including the planet, has intelligence
and is part of a much greater plan.....more
The Malt Whisky Trail:
Whisky purists must visit Speyside, home to over half of Scotland's Malt
Whisky distilleries, not all of which are open to the public. The Malt
Whisky Trail is a local marketing initiative established to promote the
region's Whisky heritage and encourage tourism.
Eight distilleries and a cooperage form the Malt Whisky Trail in however
this does not include all the distilleries in the area. The trail itself
is well-marked at the roadside at various points and the distilleries
can be visited in any convenient order. Some are popular with coach parties,
but others are more esoteric.
Inverness, The Highland Capital:
There's plenty to see and do in and around Inverness – just leave
yourself enough time.
Browse city shops old and new, from the Victorian Market to the new award-winning
shopping complex, Eastgate II. Take a stroll to Inverness Castle, currently
used as a courthouse, and St Andrew's Cathedral, which dominate the River
Ness and what has been described as one of the most beautiful riverside
settings in Britain.
Enjoy the fine circular walk from the castle along the river and through
the Ness Islands where, in the peak season from July to October, you can
watch anglers casting long lines to leaping Atlantic salmon. Buy a daily
ticket and try it for yourself.
Above the city lies Craig Phadrig, once the stronghold of Pictish Kings,
which offers interesting forest walks. From here you can enjoy magnificent
views of the Moray Firth, home to a diverse range of wildlife including
bottlenose dolphins which can be seen from the shore or on trips available
from harbours along the coast.
Getting to Oldmills Garden is extremely straightforward.
