Activities in The Cairngorms

Loch Insh Watersports Centre
At Kincraig the Spey widens into Loch Insh, home of the Loch Insh Watersports Centre, which offers canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, bike hire and fishing, as well as B&B accommodation from £27 per person. The food here is good, especially after 6.30pm when the lochside cafe metamorphoses into a cosy restaurant.
