My feature about the Rothiemurchus Estate is in the September 2022 issue of BBC Countryfile magazine. It’s a fabulous place to explore and the farm shop is a must visit, too!
And while you’re there (as mentioned at the end of the piece) do explore Loch an Eilein – it’s a gentle three-mile circular stroll around this magical loch with an island castle.
