World Environment Day: Embrace Sustainability with a Gold Green Tourism Stay at Cairngorm Bothies

Today is World Environment Day, a global celebration encouraging everyone to take action for the environment. At our 12 dog friendly Cairngorm Bothies, we proudly embrace this ethos every day with our commitment to sustainability, eco-friendly practices, and responsible tourism. As a Gold Green Tourism award-winning accommodation, we take pride in ensuring that every aspect of your stay supports the environment and helps conserve the natural beauty of the Cairngorms National Park.

Nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Cairngorm Bothies offers their self catering guests the opportunity to reconnect with nature while reducing their environmental impact. Here’s how we bring those principles to life:

Off-Grid Living for a Sustainable Stay

Each of our handcrafted self-catering bothies is designed to be off-grid, offering modern comforts while minimising environmental impact. Powered by solar panels, with wood-burning stoves for heating and private spring water for fresh water, our bothies provide an eco-friendly escape. Guests can disconnect from the digital world, enjoying no Wi-Fi as part of a true digital detox.

Staying at Cairngorm Bothies isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint; it’s about rejuvenating your body and mind. Immerse yourself in forest bathing, breathing in the fresh, crisp air of the Cairngorms while surrounded by towering Ancient Scots Pines. The natural environment offers the perfect backdrop for wellness, helping to reduce stress, boost your mood, and promote overall health. Whether you’re exploring the forest trails or simply unwinding in your bothy, you’ll feel recharged by nature’s healing powers.

Wildlife-Friendly Practices

The Cairngorms National Park is one of the UK’s most treasured natural habitats, home to a diverse range of flora and wildlife, including damselflies, red squirrels, hares, and a wide range of birds and birds of prey. At Cairngorm Bothies, we take pride in ensuring that the park’s delicate ecosystem remains as undisturbed as it can be. Our wildlife-friendly practices also include using biodegradable cleaning products and energy-saving measures, all of which help protect the natural environment around us.
