Happy World Wildlife Day! 🌿

Take a peek at what our woodland neighbors get up to when nobody is watching.

We set up a trail camera in the woods, and the forest floor is always teeming with life! When you go off-grid at Cairngorm Bothies, you are sharing the wilderness with native red squirrels, woodland pigeons, and beautiful songbirds right outside your door. It is the perfect escape to unplug from the daily noise and tune back into nature. 🐿️🐦✨

Come see who you can spot on your next wild retreat! πŸ‘‡

When you go off-grid at Cairngorm Bothies, the forest comes alive around you. Step outside into the rugged wilderness and listen to the beautiful morning chorus of native songbirds echoing through the canopy 🐀✨

🌲 Welcoming Our Cairngorm Bothies & Lodges Guests! πŸ¦†πŸš—βœ¨
Hi everyone! With so many visitors enjoying off-grid escapes in our woods, we wanted to share a warm welcome along with a couple of exciting local updates!

1️⃣ Logie Coldstone Community Duck Race Tickets! πŸ¦†
Mark your calendars! The upcoming Community Duck Race will be taking place at the Cairngorm Lodges Logie Burn on Sunday, 13th September. Dont forget to book your Sunday lunch at The Airedale Pub

Duck tickets will be available to buy at the next Community Cafe Friday 4th September 10 - 12 (held on the first Friday of the month). Be sure to grab yours and join in the fun!

2️⃣ Arrival Directions (Google Maps is best for now) πŸ“
If you are arriving for a stay with us soon, please use Google Maps for your Cairngorm Bothies directions, as it leads straight to our correct main entrance. https://maps.app.goo.gl/cudZJD58emYtGov58

If your navigation takes you to Cairngorm Lodges Red Squirrel Lodge, you are not quiet there yet. We have put up a temporary blue rope across that woodland track to stop vehicles from getting lost or stuck down the narrow path.

Please be assured, all our guests & our local community are very welcome to use the track as normal 🫢🏻🌿

3️⃣ Help Us Update Apple Maps πŸ“±
If you accidentally end up near Red Squirrel Lodge, simply turn around and follow Google Maps back to our primary entrance.

For our local iPhone users, if you have a quick spare minute, you can help us fix the issue for future guests:

Open Apple Maps and search for https://maps.apple.com/place?place-id=IB5EC8A284AD30D9&address=Logie+Coldstone%2C+Aboyne%2C+AB34+5PZ%2C+Scotland&coordinate=57.123150%2C-2.936523&name=Cairngorm+Bothies&_provider=9902
Tap More (the three dots on the location card) and select Report an Issue.

Choose Location on Map is Wrong or Route Issue to point to our main entrance.

Thank you so much for your continued support in keeping our woodland safe and peaceful for locals, wildlife, and guests alike. We can't wait to see you at the Logie Coldstone Community Duck Race! 13th SeptemberπŸ’š
