Dufftown Fairy Village — Attraction in Scotland

This quiet and wonderful spot can be an embuggerance to locate but is very much worth the hunt!

A little further back in the forest you will find the Giant's Chair and a small (but still beautiful) waterfall. Overall, I can definately recommend this little adventure to everyone who...

DO NOT follow satnav to tge layby on the road because the bridge is closed. Drive from the square down Church Street to the church and graveyard. The path starts over a wee bridge between the church and the distillery, following the river to the right. Path is well maintained with great views, a bit up and down but worth it. Once you reach the Giant's Chair keep walking until you see a column on the left slope leading to the magic...
