Overview
Day-by-day itinerary
Photos

Best for: Forest walks and Loch Morlich’s beach
Driving: Moderate
When to go: Spring–autumn; confirm seasonal touring dates
Ferries: Mainland roads; no vehicle ferry

Why this trip: Dunkeld and Glenmore connect riverside paths with Loch Morlich, ending near the A9 for handback.

The trade-off: Moving between bases uses part of each day; a big Cairngorm hill walk warrants another night.
