Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Part drive-through, part walk-round, this wildlife park at Kincraig specialises in cold-climate animals, from polar bears and Scottish wildcats to snow monkeys. You drive slowly through the main reserve, then wander the rest on foot. Ticketed, and a good option with the kids whatever the weather. Kingussie station is about 6km down the road.
