Hiking Through Scottish Weather: Impressions of Craig Leek Trail
On the first day of our stay in Braemar, we explored several hiking opportunities starting from the village itself. During one of these hikes, a friendly Scottish couple told us about other great hiking spots just a short drive away around Craig Leek. The following day, we decided to check it out. There were several recommended trails, and we opted for the Craig Leek Circular Walk, which was just over 8 km long. This trail took us through woodlands, heather-clad moorlands, tranquil glens, and the dramatic mountain scenery of the Cairngorms. Despite the thick fog we encountered during our hike, we enjoyed this moderate-level trail that took us a few hours to complete - Craig Leek, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK

The Inver to Keiloch gravel path.
Great way to avoid the main road, loops behind Creag na Spaine and Meal Alvie
