Impressions of Strathspey in July?
- Its quiet (virtually all the birds have stopped singing).
- Its got midges - lots of them - think its the first time I have been bitten there.
- Its busy, but still only around the shops and visitor centres. We met less than ten people along the path between Boat of Garten and Aviemore.
