The Bothy is situated at the Spittal of Glenshee in the foothills of the Grampians, just off the A93 between Braemar and Blairgowrie and therefore it makes an ideal base for anyone who wants to tour Scotland – Glamis Castle, Scone Palace, Pitlochry, the now famous shopping experience of The House of Bruar and all the major cities are within two hours drive. Royal Deeside and Balmoral Castle are only thirty minutes away, over the once notorious Devils Elbow road.

Hillwalkers will love this cottage with twenty one Munros within a fifteen mile radius, including Cairnwell, Beinn Lutharn Mhor and Glas Maol, whilst some may enjoy the lower level walks (e.g. The Cateran Trail – the route used by the cattle rustlers in the 15th century).

As well as a great variety of wildlife which abound in the area, ski-ing, mountain biking, stalking, fishing and tennis are all available locally, as is one of Britain’s highest golf courses, set beside the Dalmunzie Castle – Scotland’s first genealogy hotel with library facilities for those keen to trace their ancestors. Alternatively, simply sit on the veranda of this wonderful little holiday house, enjoy the peace and marvel at the view.
