Walking Route

This all changed with the arrival of the railway, which brought tourism to the area The railway also brought changes to the forests. Where once logs were floated downstream, now they were loaded onto rail wagons to be transported all over the world. The Strathspey Railway continues to preserve this rail heritage and runs steam trains from Aviemore to Broomhill.
