There was another meeting for Cairngorm Husky Sledding Competitions in January. This year the huskies were able to use the sleds instead of wheels because there was enough snow. The event attracts lots of visitors and the conditions were ideal for sledding, skiing, togganning and photography.

Mitzi and Davdd from South Africa had been told about places in Scotland to visit by their friends. One of these was the Old Spey Bridge.Davdd said that after seeing 'Braveheart' he had wanted to come to Scotland to see some of the places mentioned in the film. Next they were travelling to Wallace's Monument near Stirling as part of their visit to Scotland.

Some of the skies in Grantown in autumn are spectacular. I think this is because of the clear atmosphere and the cloud formation as the sun goes down in the west.
