Nature and people live in harmony in Rothiemurchus. At its heart lies one of the largest areas of ancient forest in Britain, with an extraordinary variety of wildlife that depends on it for survival.

Discover MoreMany people return to Rothiemurchus year after year, decade after decade. Locals live, work and play here. Thanks to the slow and steady work of native plants and animals combined with careful land management, this has become a unique and special place. We can all take action to protect Rothiemurchus for future generations so they can enjoy it as much as we do.
“Conservation does not happen by accident.
A combination of sensitive use now and long-term planning will safeguard this special parcel of land, and give us something to pass on to future generations that we – and they – can be proud of.”
James Grant, whose family have lived at Rothiemurchus and stewarded the land for over 450 years.
