Come and fly a selection of majestic birds of prey with Rothiemurchus Falconry, near Aviemore. Experience these amazing birds, flying free in the Cairngorm National Park with one of the most amazing back drops you'll ever see!
This family-friendly activity is a must for anyone wanting a truly unique experience.
Age restrictions apply. For further information please scroll down for Description, Need to Know and Rates & Dates.
We have a fantastic selection of birds, from owls to hawks and eagles! You will get to know their individual personalities, interesting facts about them and have plenty of photo opportunities.
Children will get to fly the smaller birds whilst adults will have the opportunity to fly an eagle also.
This is a hands-on, unique experience, exclusive to visitors at Rothiemurchus.
Upon arrival at the Fishery carpark please wait by the Falconry meeting point sign where a member of our team will come and greet you and check you in. Feel free to use the facilities at the Fishery as there aren't any where you will be flying the birds.
Once checked in, you will be taken on a short walk through the Fishery into our Falconry Centre where you will be introduced to our birds and where they live, given a safety briefing and falconry glove ready to fly the birds.
