Aviemore Travel Guide: 47 reviews and 59 photos

I've had the pleasure of going to Aviemore a few times, it's a quiet town in the Highlands of Scotland close to Inverness. Its famous for the Cairngorms a stretch of mountains with great views, where skiers are often present. Its two stops short of Inverness. So you'll probably be very tired by the time you get there.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Snow, Cairngorms,
Cons:Long Train journey
In a nutshell:Quiet with lots of mountains.

Scotland is high on top of my preferences, but I haven't made it there yet! Beautiful and inspiring photos.
