The first and only daily working sleddog centre in the UK. The only sleddog museum in Europe dedicated to Alec "Scotty" Allan "King of the Sleddog Drivers" born in Dundee 1867. Set within spectacular panoramic views of the Cairngorm Mountain Range with wild life all around, be apart of a awesome sleddog adventure.
You will be taken by dog team & guide into some of the very best scenic routes in the Cairngorms, breathtaking panoramic views of mountain ranges and the National Park getting close to herds of wild red deer and other wildlife. Arrive at a forest bush camp (on our safari trips) you will help secure the team, help water & snack them...enjoying a short break, brewing up a cup of coffee/tea in one of our shelters. The remote forest in this area is alive with wildlife. We then hook up the team again and slowly make our way back to the centre via some of the most hair raising & exiting trails in Europe for sled- dogs.
What we do best:
Meet the 33 Sled- dogs (all year round). Get an insight into the history of the sport and the world of Scotty Allan "King of the Arctic Trails" & the way of life Alan Stewart has with his K9 friends living at the foot of the Cairngorms. Meet Buster... & then to finish
?We promise our dogs provide all our visitors with a unique & exhilarating experience."
