A guided walk to the Pictish hillfort of Dun da Lamh (optional e-bikes available), along with an opportunity to create your own journal in the Badenoch The Storylands app. Cost £4 or £10 with e-bike hire.
The four-mile route climbs about 650 feet and is steeper nearer the summit of Dun da Lamh, where caution is needed. The summit rewards you with views over Spey Dam towards the Corrieyairick Pass, and down the Spey Valley towards Laggan and beyond, showing the prominent position the hill fort held.
