The pine forest, planted in the 1930s, is criss-crossed by numerous hiking trails and offers wonderful relaxation. It is wonderful to walk along the beach in one direction and through the forest in the other. In stormy weather, the forest offers shelter from the wind and in the car park there are toilets (closed in winter), a playground and a food truck. It is free on foot, by bike and on horseback, but very moderate parking fees apply if you drive.

One of the features on the main shopping street in Grantown-on-Spey. The war memorial is on the middle of it all. There is a good hot sandwich shop opposite the memorial, ยฃ2.30 for a double sausage hot sandwich in Sep 2024 which is good

Don't blink or you will miss it. It doesn't feel like a summit. Go there and you will see what I mean.
