"Nature has been prodigal of her choicest gifts, and has made Aviemore the grandest, as well as the most beautiful, of the many lovely reaches of the Spey. Here we have forest and glen, mountain and crag, loch and burn, in such charming profusion that one is almost bewildered with the richness as well as the extent of the prospect. The scenery is on such a gigantic scale that the eye fails to grasp at once the picture before it; we know no district which grows so much on one by repeated visits as Aviemore" (Alexander Inkson McConnochie, Guide to Aviemore and vicinity, 1907).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
