“Glenlivet it has castles three, Drumin, Blairfindy and Deskie”.

This Heritage Ranger led castle walk will take us to the 16th century tower house of Blairfindy and begins outside the iconic Glenlivet Distillery.

On the walk in we’ll enjoy fantastic views over the glen.

You’ll learn a bit about Glenlivet’s rich history and some whisky history too.

Come and grab yourself a bargain, or make some extra cash by selling some preloved items.

Running alongside a Community Cafe!

Join Cairngorms Astronomy Club and TGDT in The Square, Tomintoul for a moon viewing session. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface.

We’ll have the Celestron telescope and a smartphone bracket that will allow you to take the moon home in your pocket!

As we will be outside, please dress up warm for changeable weather.

Children are very welcome.
