“Glenlivet it has castles three, Drumin, Blairfindy and Deskie”. This easy guided 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 stunning views over one of Scotland’s most famous glens. You’ll learn a bit about Glenlivet’s rich history and some whisky history too.
Blairfindy Castle was completed in 1564 by John Gordon. In its heyday Blairfindy was a fine example of a three storey L-plan tower house and even today shows a remarkable degree of preservation. A project to stabilise Blairfindy Castle took place in 2019, funded through the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Landscape Partnership, a programme supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The castle is now open to visitors for the first time in decades and has been specially adapted to encourage nesting birds and pollinators.
Join Glenlivet & Inveravon Heritage Ranger Lydia for a talk on Pictish art and symbol stones. We will be looking at four Pictish Stones discovered in the churchyard of Inveraven, which has been a site of spiritual practice and pilgrimage for centuries. This tour will provide an overview to Pictish art and culture and will show how the Picts contributed to the shaping of modern Scotland.
Access to Inveraven Church is off the A95 about half a mile north the entrance to Ballindalloch Castle, and can be found by following the brown tourist sign directing visitors down the single track road to the Inveraven Pictish Stones.
Parking is available at the bottom of the drive before you arrive at the church or in front of the church building.
As we will be outside, please dress appropriately for changeable weather.
Children are very welcome to attend.
Well behaved dogs may attend but must be leashed as there is often livestock on site.
Funded by Foundation Scotland from the Dorenell Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund.

Join us in the tipi for an intimate evening of song and merriment with the gorgeous pairing of Rachel Sermanni and Louis Abbott, dear old friends of The Dell. We really can’t wait to have them back and for them to kick off the first of our ‘In the Woods’ gigs for 2025.
Rachel Sermanni, originally from just along the road in Carrbridge, is a renowned writer, musician and artist who has been gracing the Sottish folk scene with her stunning vocals and poetic song writing skills since 2011. Add in to the mix the unique and captivating voice of Louis Abbott of Glasgow based band Admiral Fallow, along with his witty banter and crowd pleasing chat, and we have ourselves a beautiful night of music and laughter in the tipi. Rachel and Louis are no strangers to performing together and with their wonderful chemistry and mesmerising voices that complement each other so beautifully, you will definitely be left wanting more.
Doors and bar opens at 7pm with music starting at 8pm, we look forward to seeing you here!
