About Garlyne Brae
Suitable For
Set in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, near the village of Nethy Bridge, Garlyne Brae is a peaceful, family-run site with magnificent views over the Highland countryside. With just 12 fully serviced hardstanding pitches, it’s a small and welcoming base for exploring Speyside and beyond. Dogs are welcome, and we provide Wi-Fi, parking by your pitch, and access to chemical disposal facilities.
Nearby
Just minutes from the site, Nethy Bridge is a beautiful Highland village with everything you need. Enjoy hearty meals and cosy hospitality at the hotel and pub, relax in the local coffee shop, or try a game at the tennis courts or bowling green. Stock up on essentials at the friendly general store or pick up locally reared meats and produce from the village butcher—perfect for BBQs or a hearty meal back at your pitch.For those who love the outdoors, there is plenty. Local woodland and riverside paths make for peaceful walks, with abundant wildlife and scenic views at every turn. The famous Speyside Way also passes nearby, tracing the River Spey through forest, moorland, and whisky country—ideal for both gentle strolls and more challenging hikes. Just a short drive away, the RSPB Abernethy Forest offers rich birdlife and woodland trails, while the Loch Garten Osprey Centre provides the chance to see these magnificent birds in their summer nests.
History and tradition are never far away. From Aviemore, board the vintage Speyside Steam Train to Broomhill Station and enjoy a nostalgic journey through stunning Highland scenery. August brings two popular annual events: the Highland Games in Nethy, known as “The Friendly Games,” with piping, dancing, and athletic competitions, and the Grantown Agricultural Show, which combines livestock judging, crafts, parades, and family activities. Whisky enthusiasts will want to visit The Cairn distillery just outside Grantown-on-Spey, where modern design meets classic craftsmanship in tours and tastings.
For adventure seekers, Rothiemurchus Estate is a must. Here you can try quad biking, pony trekking, clay pigeon shooting, falconry, and more, all within the dramatic landscapes of the Cairngorms. Families will love Landmark Forest Adventure Park at Carrbridge, with its water coasters, rope trails, mazes, and butterfly house. Animal lovers should not miss the Highland Wildlife Park near Kingussie, home to polar bears, tigers, and other rare species in a conservation-focused setting. To round off your Highland experience, head to Inverness for a Jacobite Cruise on Loch Ness—an unforgettable way to take in the loch’s beauty and its famous legends.
