Cairngorm campaign offers starry, starry nights
A spokesperson at VisitScotland explained: “With the nights lengthening, now is the ideal time for people to plan their escape to gaze at the cosmos in The Cairngorms, the UK’s biggest national park.
The park is home to an 'International Dark Sky Park', the most northerly park of its kind in the world, and the agency is spotlighting seven stellar stays or activities.
“If the stars perfectly align, you can spot the Milky Way with one of the stargazing nights on offer at Tomintoul and Glenlivet's ‘International Dark Sky Park’ - it is one of the very best places in the UK to see the star-filled night sky or even the Aurora Borealis.”
As nature never sleeps, visitors can also book a night time mammal watching experience with Speyside Wildlife.
Also available is cosy overnight glamping at Howe of Torbeg, on the Ballater side, followed by one of their Friday night star spotting events.
Cairngorm Bothies offer a luxury Stargazing Bothy Hamper and arrange special group star parties,
And near Aviemore, night time story walks are led by storyteller Sarah Hobb.
Tourists around Britain are being invited to illuminate the darkness with a fun 'Ancient Forest Twi-LIGHTS' experience at Carrbridge’s Landmark Forest Adventure Park.
At Kincraig VisitScotland are promoting the opportunities to see the stars above Loch Insh on a two-hour stargazing experience.
