Welcome to Boat of Garten

Everything you need to know about The Osprey Village is here!

Our lovely village is set amongst heather clad hills and native woodland within the Cairngorms National Park. Abundant wildlife, magnificent scenery, many sporting and leisure activities and a traditional Highland welcome are all to be found here.

Play our superb 18-hole golf course or fish the Spey. Unique bird watching opportunities abound; tranquil woods and dramatic hillsides to walk, climb or ski are within easy reach. Cycle on excellent tracks and quiet roads – the Speyside Way meets the Sustrans cycle route in the centre of the village. Enjoy our Community Garden and be entertained by the many activities in the Community Hall. Take a trip on a scenic steam railway or in a canoe!

Lying adjacent to the River Spey, Boat of Garten is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, centrally located in the Highlands of Scotland and is the perfect place from which to explore the Highlands or simply unwind.

The Boat, as the village is known, offers a range of accommodation to suit everyone in and around the village. All are privately owned with each establishment offering their own style of Highland Hospitality.

Residents can find local information in the Community and Community Hall pages – if you can’t find what you want, have some information to add or would like to give us some feedback, please email us.

Keep up with the progress of our exciting new project, Keep the Boat Afloat; the Community Company’s Heritage Group has commissioned an original sculpture and an information hub for the area around the Steam Railway Station and a planning application has been submitted.
