Boat of Garten Steam Rally
A balmy highland day at Boat of Garten railway station hosted a small but fascinating steam rally complete with steam trains and a variety of traction engines.

Boat of Garten is on the Strathspey railway, and the name comes from an ancient ferry across the river Spey.

Beautiful Boxing Day walk from Aviemore to Boat of Garten and back. 13.5 miles in the snow has certainly blown away the cobwebs!

There are thought to be over 2,600 historic curling ponds in Scotland. This site in #BoatofGarten in the #Cairngorms was rebuilt into a bike park a couple of years ago.
