Rothiemurchus is an ideal location for the study of the natural environment, the interaction of different land uses and how humans have shaped what we see today.

The estate extends over some 10,000 hectares from the River Spey (beside Aviemore), through farmland and native forest to the high tops of the Cairngorms. The landscape and habitats are of National and International importance, with a large area of the estate inside the Cairngorms National Nature Reserve and within the Cairngorms National Park.

Our team of friendly and experienced Rothiemurchus Rangers will lead your group and ensure that they get the most out of their visit. There is ample opportunity for discussion and question/answer sessions with the Rangers. Participation by the pupils is actively encouraged and considered an essential part of the visit.

If you would like to tailor your visit for a specific project the pupils are working on, please feel free to contact the Rothiemurchus Rangers to discuss how we may be able to help.
