GRANTOWN ON SPEY

Grantown on Spey

Grantown on Spey is a friendly, historic town, centrally located within the Scottish Highlands in the north of the Cairngorms National Park. There is a good choice of independent retailers, cafes, restaurants, pubs and two golf courses! Grantown sits on the River Spey and is surrounded by unspoilt woodlands, lochs and views with plenty of walking trails to explore, as well as a waymarked viewpoint walk for stunning views across the town to the Cairngorm Mountain range, River Spey and the Cromdale Hills. Rossmor is situated at the south side of the town directly opposite woodlands and is a 5 minute walk to the High Street and 10 minutes to the Town Square.

Grantown is 14 miles from Aviemore and 35 miles from Inverness. Because Grantown is so central, most of our guests prefer to stay for a few nights to avoid having to re-pack their suitcases every night. Using Grantown as a base, you can easily explore the Cairngorms National Park, Speyside Malt Whisky Trail, Loch Ness and the Moray Coast. Grantown is 160 miles from Glasgow, and 150 miles from Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye and Thurso on the north coast.

If you love driving, there are three driving routes which are accessible from Grantown. The North Coast 500 is a circular route from Inverness across the north coast of Scotland; the North East 250, can be picked up in Ballindalloch and takes you on a circular route out to Aberdeen; and the 90 mile Snow Road is the highest public road in Britain and takes you through the Cairngorms National Park from Grantown to Blairgowrie, also known as the ‘slow road’, it is not for the feint hearted!
