Would you like to learn more about the night sky? Have you ever been night walking on Glenlivet Estate?
Come and join the dark side! Join us at The Carrachs Dark Sky Discovery site in the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Cairngorms Dark Sky Park for a night walk and stargazing session. We’ll look at stars, planets, and constellations and share resources for improving celestial knowledge.
After dusk, the Braes of Glenlivet are an exciting place to walk and explore, and with eyes wide and senses alert, you can experience the Estate like never before. Use your senses to listen for nocturnal animals and birds and marvel at the night sky.
