Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve

Dog-friendly glamping in Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve

Encompassing five miles (eight kilometers) of floodplain between Kingussie and Kincraig, Insh Marshes Nature Reserve is said to be one of the most important wetland areas in Europe. The reserve is protected by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and supports populations of breeding waders including curlew, lapwing, redshank and snipe. Visitors can follow two trails around the reserve to bird hides and viewpoints. While there is no campsite in the nature reserve, the Spey Bridge Caravan and Camping Park, a 10-minute drive south, sits on a bend of the River Spey and has pitches for campervans and tents.

2 nights at Aberdeenshire Airstream

The Airstream is an absolute beauty and an amazing place to stay. A nice bbq allows for some outdoor cooking and when inside, the record player sets the mood. A nice walk to the moors with amazing views of the Cairngorms can be done right from the doorstep.

4 nights at Organic Welltree

I loved my 4 night break in the Bramble Yurt. The yurt was clean and cosy. I did have the stove burner on due to the weather being so good. The bathroom shed was clean and fresh. The fridge was a god send considering the temperature reach a high of 27 degrees. I had a relaxing time sitting in the fresh air watching the wild life and the world go by. I would highly recommend Organic Welltree. I shall definitely go back. I wish to thanks them for my time at Kirkland.

Weekend Trip to Aberdeenshire Airstream

Stuart really put thought and effort into making the Airstream and area into an amazing place to stay. With a deck, gas BBQ, firepit and lots of spots to sit outside it makes for a very relaxed time away. The area is very quiet but there is lots to see and do that's not very far. Truly a great host, it was a pleasure to stay there.
