Discover the Dark Skies of the Cairngorms National Park and learn more about the night sky with the help of a qualified Star Ranger. The Cairngorms National Park is recognised as one of the best places in the world for stargazing, due to its dark skies.


Our minibus offers pickups from Banchory, Aboyne, and Ballater, transporting you to the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve, or you can meet us at the Visitor Centre. From here you will walk through the forest to a clearing north of Loch Kinord, which offers unobstructed views of the night sky highlights. You may even be lucky enough to witness the Aurora or capture the moon's reflection on the loch.
A Dark Skies presentation will be given near the visitor centre, with hot drinks provided. Astronomical twilight will allow us to point out the planets, constellations, and star clusters. If it's overcast, some constellations will be covered in the interactive presentation.
