Come and celebrate with us for an evening of delight and surprise! In a warm and relaxed evening at Am Fasgadh, Highland Folk Museum with hot drinks and nibbles, we’d love to share the creative work of this year.

The Storylands Sessions Word Workshops this season have been hosted at the Highland Folk Museum where we have been inspired by items from their collections, including a Women’s Land Army Jumper, vicious anti-poaching devices, a 200 year-old shepherd’s plaid, the Travellers’ tent and tinware, and a collection of wheeled items.

We have been privileged to learn from the Highland Folk Museum curators, Helen Pickles and Liz English, as well as local people for whom our focus that week is a way of life: sheepfarmer Campbell Slimon and Traveller John Macdonald.

Places are very limited, so book early

Live music from fabulous talent. Come and join us each evening at 9pm…

Very excited to announce the date of the next Cairngorm Ski Club Ski Sale on Saturday 8th November 2025.

Re-use and recycle…. That’s what we are all about now.

So let’s try and reuse and recycle our out-grown and no longer used snowsports kit. Make some money at the Cairngorm Ski Club Ski Sale and give your kit a new home!

Alternatively, grab yourself an absolute bargain. If you are looking for kids’ kit or some new race kit, it’s a great place to be. Or if you want to pick up a snowboard, some freestyle skis, or choose to “earn your turns” this year with some new touring kit, it’s all there at the CSC Snowsports Sale.

Married to the Duke of Gordon at 17, Jane became a leading hostess in Edinburgh, friend and principal Patron to Robbie Burns. In London society she became a close friend and “fixer” to William Pitt and Dundas as well as a mediator between King George 111 and the Prince of Wales. Back in Badenoch she was a zealous agricultural improver and founded Kingussie. Tonight’s Talk sets out to convince the audience that Jane Maxwell was and is, indeed, Scotland’s most remarkable woman.

The Cairngorm’s National Park is the UK’s largest and is one of the most important places for nature in the UK. It is home to around 18,000 people and is visited by around 2 million people each year. The Park has seen significant changes since it was designated 20 years ago. This Talk will look at the changes that have occurred, the work of the Park Authority and what are the big challenges for the next 20 years.
