Shops

It depends on what you are looking to buy. If you are after outdoor gear, then Aviemore is a specialist hub for all the main brands and you’ll find a huge range available to suit every price range and ability. However, the towns and villages have a wealth of small independent retailers offering high quality, and often locally produced, goods and so are well worth a visit.

There are 60 estates in the Cairngorms National Park covering about 75% of the entire area and you can buy produce direct from many of these estates. For example, Rothiemurchus has its own farm shop where it sells its local produce, as well as produce from other local companies.

There are many gifts unique to the Cairngorms you can buy on your trip. For instance, you could buy a fine local malt, or a piece of art depicting the landscape from one of our galleries, or a locally-made craft work or, even, some high quality outdoor gear because Aviemore is one of the best places in the UK to buy specialist equipment. Bear in mind, too, that many attractions – from Landmark to the Highland Folk Museum – have their own gift shops.
