Aviemore
POP 2400
Aviemore is the gateway to the Cairngorms, the region's main centre for transport, accom-
modation, restaurants and shopping. It's not the prettiest town in Scotland by a long
stretch - the main attractions are in the surrounding area - but when bad weather puts the
hills off-limits, Aviemore fills up with hikers, cyclists and climbers (plus skiers and snow-
boarders in winter) cruising the outdoor-equipment shops or recounting their latest adven-
tures in the cafes and bars. Add in tourists and locals and the eclectic mix makes for a
lively little town.
