GLEN FOR A QUEEN
BBC Countryfile Magazine
|November 2021
CYCLE/WALK: River Avon, Tomintoul, Moray | Silver birch and mountain ash combine on the banks of this effervescent river, which carves and curv its way through some of the least-visited mountains in the Cairngorms, writes Fergal MacErlean
The purple fuzz of the Highland heather is at its most vibrant at this time of year, and the air has an invigorating bite.
The valley through which the Avon flows has grandeur and a wonderful sense of space – fit for a queen. Queen Victoria, wrapped in her tartan shawl, used to gaze across the uplifting landscape over her royal estate from a spot now known as the Queen’s View.
