At a height of 1164 ft on the northern slopes of the Cairngorm Mountains, Tomintoul is the highest village in Highland Scotland.Situated between the Rivers Avon and Conglass, the town is an ideal place from which to explore the Glenlivet Estate, north eastern Cairngorms and Speyside Malt Whisky Trail. With a central square and many Georgian and Victorian buildings the village is a great example of an 18th century Scottish Highland planned village.Within the Glenlivet Estate there are over one hundred miles of easy access walking and mountian bike trails and in winter a variety of snow sports which are available at the nearby Lecht ski cesort.
