Rothiemurchus, Aviemore, Scotland for Walking, Outdoor Activities, Camping and Shopping

Red Deer and the smaller Roe Deer are both important wild species at Rothiemurchus. They have become fairly accustomed to people walking on the paths and if you remain watchful you can often see them feeding nearby throughout the year. They are wary of people however and when they see, hear or smell any dogs venturing off the paths they usually flee.

Wild deer exist in a delicate balance with their habitat, so we seek to maintain a settled and sustainable population by employing effective deer management, complying with Best Practice Guidance. This helps us achieve successful reproduction and good rates of calf survival, resulting in healthier populations. It also helps limit the impact deer have on natural vegetation and farmed crops and provides a regular supply of superb venison that is available from the Rothiemurchus Farm Shop.

During the peak Red Deer Stalking season, September and October, please look out for signs and leaflets and seek advice on how best to enjoy the hills without interrupting deer management. Thank you.
