PART OF THE TRACK BED OF THE FORMER MAIN RAILWAY LINE BETWEEN PERTH & INVERNESS (BEFORE SLOCHD SUMMIT WAS OPENED). THIS SECTION IS CLOSE TO GRANTOWN ON SPEY WEST. IT IS HOPED THAT BY OR BEFORE 2020, THE STRATHSPEY RAILWAY WILL BE EXTENDED TO LINK AVIEMORE & GRANTOWN. THE AREA IS PRONE TO HEAVIER SNOWFALLS THAN PITLOCHRY, AS IT LIES ON THE EXPOSED NORTHERN SIDE OF THE CAIRNGORMS.
