Start of the walk
An impressive ruin with an interesting history - worth a closer look.
Don't miss the impressive waterfall underneath the bridge. From here, choose your route to the overnight stop at Glen Feshie Bothy.
This wonderful little bothy is a credit to the Mountain Bothies Association (mountainbothies.org.uk). Please leave it as you find it, if not even nicer!
Follow the back of the river upstream and as with all of the Scottish uplands, don't underestimate potential difficulties in crossing the numerous tribuatries to the main river.
Cross the stream here
Your first reall summit of the trip isn't particularly impressive a hill, but affords stunning views in all directions.
The easterly view down Glen Geasachan could inspire a poet, whilst to the north the Cairngorm plateau broods.
So named for reasons only folklore can explain, but you may be cursing Old Nicks very name as you see the descent you now have in store . .
This wonderful little bothy will provide you a cosey night of sleep. The coseyness will depend on however many other people you might be sharing with! Take delight and care of the compost toilet.
This historical route spans the heart of the Cairngorms, from the Linn of Dee in the s.outh to CoylumBridge in the north. Turn left.
From this watershed, the rest of the walk (or most of it at least!) is down.
What a beautiful contrast between the mountains and this wonderfully preserved ancient woodland. Enjoy the sweet scent of pine as you continue your descent.
Stroll along the banks.
For trains south to Glasgow and northwards towards Inverness.
