Places to see in ( Grantown on Spey - UK )
Grantown-on-Spey is a town in the Highland Council Area, historically within the county of Moray. Grantown on Spey was founded in 1765 as a planned settlement on a low plateau at Freuchie beside the river Spey at the northern edge of the Cairngorm mountains, about 20 miles south east of Inverness (35 miles by road). Originally called simply Grantown after Sir James Grant, on Spey was added by the burgh council in 1898.
There are no rail services to Grantown. The closest main line stations are Aviemore and Carrbridge from which trains travel North/South between Inverness and the central belt. There is also a station at Forres from which trains run between Inverness and Aberdeen. The Strathspey Railway is a heritage railway which currently runs between Aviemore and Broomhill (nr Nethy Bridge) via Boat of Garten. There is a proposal to extend this railway to Grantown.
The town is twinned with Notre-Dame-de-Monts in the Vendée, Pays-de-la-Loire, France, and Grant Town, West Virginia in the United States. Since 2011, Grantown-on-Spey has been home to Shinty club Strathspey Camanachd. There is a small museum located in Burnfield Avenue near one of the town's three free car-parks.

La Despedida 2010
A documentary about a journey through Europe in search for the best form of saying Goodbye. Through two months, i traveled on my three-wheeler from Hamburg in northern Germany down to my roots in northern Portugal. On the journey i met several persons and interviewed them about their point of view on what might be the best form to say goodbye to someone or because of an occasion.

Allan Ward video of the Monklands Ramblers - monklandsramblers.org.uk
Hello, these are the home pages of the Monklands Ramblers Club, one of the largest R.A. clubs in Scotland, and the first Scottish R.A. club on the Internet! We are based in the Monklands area of Central Scotland in North Lanarkshire, some 12 miles east of Glasgow. The two major towns in the area are Airdrie and Coatbridge, and it is from these towns that the majority of our 150+ members come from. There are also a significant number of members from other areas of Lanarkshire, in particular, Hamilton and Blantyre.
The club was formed in the summer of 1985 by a few local people who were interested in hill-walking. At that time the walks were fairly informally organised and people travelled to the walks in cars. Nowadays we are organised into a proper club with a full elected committee. Our members consist of people from all walks of life ranging in age from 20 - 75. We run a 53 seater coach or minibus to all of our walks (which are always covered beforehand by the leaders), we have walks programmes which cover Scotland and northern England and cater for all levels of fitness, and we occasionally go as far afield as Austria for special one-off walking holidays. Monklands Ramblers also has a very active social scene with regular dances, quiz nights and ten-pin bowling outings organised by the committee.
The club has actively and successfully campaigned for rights of way to be maintained and enhanced in the North Lanarkshire area. We have also become very much a part of the local community with frequent acknowledgement of our activities in the local press. The club is extremely successful simply because of the effort and support shown by the members. We consider ourselves a friendly bunch of people who always have a great time irrespective of the unpredictable Scottish weather! We would also be delighted to welcome along any new walkers who may be considering joining us - so come on, contact us today!

The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells) and its associations with the early 19th-century writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake Poets.
Historically split between Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire, the Lake District is now entirely in Cumbria. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet (914.4 m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and longest lakes in England, Wastwater and Windermere.The Lake District National Park includes nearly all of the Lake District, though the town of Kendal and the Lakeland Peninsulas are currently outside the park boundary.
The area, which was designated a national park on 9 May 1951 (less than a month after the first UK national park designation — the Peak District), is the most visited national park in the United Kingdom with 15.8 million annual visitors and more than 23 million annual day visits,[1] the largest of the thirteen national parks in England and Wales, and the second largest in the UK after the Cairngorms.[2] Its aim is to protect the landscape by restricting unwelcome change by industry or commerce. Most of the land in the park is in private ownership. The National Trust owns about a quarter of the total area (including some lakes and land of significant landscape value), United Utilities owns 8% and 3.9% belongs to the Lake District National Park Authority. The National Park Authority is based at offices in Kendal. It runs a visitor centre on Windermere at a former country house called Brockhole,[3] Coniston Boating Centre and Information Centres.
In common with all other national parks in England, there is no restriction on entry to, or movement within the park along public routes, but access to cultivated land is usually restricted to public footpaths, bridleways and byways. Much of the uncultivated land has statutory open access rights - which cover around 50% of the park.
The lakes and mountains combine to form impressive scenery. Farmland and settlement add aesthetic value to the natural scenery with an ecology modified by human influence for millennia and including important wildlife habitats. The Lake District has failed to be approved as a natural World Heritage Site, because of human activities, such as commercial forestry, which have adversely impacted the park's assessment. Another bid is being prepared for World Heritage Status, this time in the category of cultural landscape.[4]
Proposed extension to the National Park
In December 2009, Natural England proposed extending the National Park in the direction of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.[5] This would include land of high landscape value in the Lune Valley. The proposal was opposed by Cumbria County Council who said it would lead to less democratic control and would make local housing less affordable.[6] A public inquiry is being held into the proposals which will require a decision by the Secretary of State.[7]
Human geography
General
The location of the Lake District, shown in white, within Northern England
The precise extent of the Lake District was not defined traditionally, but is slightly larger than that of the National Park, the total area of which is about 885 square miles (2,292 km2). The park extends just over 32 miles (51 km) from east to west and nearly 40 miles (64 km) from north to south,[8] with areas such as the Lake District Peninsulas to the south lying outside the National Park.[9]
Settlement
The Lake District is one of the most highly populated national parks. There are, however, only a handful of major settlements within this mountainous area, the towns of Keswick, Windermere, Ambleside, and Bowness-on-Windermere being the four largest. Significant towns immediately outside the boundary of the national park include Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Ulverston, Cockermouth, Penrith, and Grange-over-Sands; each of these has important economic links with the area.

National Cycle Network Route 7 Killin Kenmore Aberfeldy Loch Tay Guide
Part of a series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery.
Cycling Killin to Kenmore and Aberfeldy via the south side of Loch Tay. Total distance 48miles return. Shot 4 May 2015 for the best unobstructed views (not many leaves on the trees yet) and still plenty of snow on the mountains. Aberfeldy is just off 7 which continues along the north side of the Tay at Weem.
The road on the south side of Loch Tay is pretty hilly, frequent climbs and descents back towards lochside, a gradually climbing sawtooth. OK when the wind is with you – normally in the Killin-Aberfeldy direction as that matches the prevailing wind direction … but it was tough on the way back with the wind blowing from the Atlantic, up Loch Fyne, and along the length of the glen.
Although it’s all on-road, there is generally little traffic, but do watch out for occasional surprises around blind corners and over blind summits on the narrow single track section between Killin and Kenmore. There might not be a lot of traffic but it goes fast, often too fast for the road. Visibility is not good. *** Update Nov 2016 - the speed limit has been reduced to 40mph with some 'cycling and walking friendly road' signage. A positive move but that's still too fast for the road ****
Fantastic views - Watch out for James Bond and M enjoying them as in Skyfall - but with the advantage of better weather than they had during the filming in Glen Etive.

National Cycle Network Route 7 Rob Roy Way Guide Callander Lochearnhead Glen Ogle Killin
Intended as a one-off ride and video, this turned out to be first in a growing series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery
**UPDATE 4 June 2016. The sometimes muddy 2 miles beside the Falls of Leny is now supersmooth tarmac. Nice. The steep rocky hairpins 1 mile south of Strathyre are still impossible except on an mtb. That's my vote for the next improvement. **.
Cycling in Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park – the Rob Roy Way - Callander to Killin via Falls of Leny, Loch Lubnaig, Strathyre, Lochearnhead and Glen Ogle Viaduct – and a return trip via Balquhidder. Total distance 47 miles round trip (44 if you exclude Balquhidder on the return)
If like me you’ve driven up the A85 to Killin, and spotted cyclists on the Glen Ogle viaduct and wondered what its like, or maybe you are planning a holiday in Scotland are looking for a Scenic off road cycle route - this video is for you.
It answers all the essentials about the route:
What’s the gradient like- how steep?
How high?
How far?
What’s the surface like - tarmac, light/heavy gravel, dirt?
Do I need a mountain bike? Can I rollerblade on any of it?
Shot 10 and 19 April 2015 for the best unobstructed views (no leaves on the trees yet)

Edited with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13. No stabilisation (it cuts the field of view). Unfortunately this is resulting in really bad Youtube compression artifacts after upload - Maybe try chest mount next time.
Chest mount didn't help ... but a helpful comment on another video did ... disabling resampling in the editor has removed ghosting and pretty sure has reduced the bits needed for a clear picture. Too late for this one but good for the others.
