Rothiemurchus receives accolades such as Natura 2000, Ramsar Lochs, and National Scenic Area and of course we lie at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.

We focus on achieving awards which directly benefit both the business and the staff, such as; business development, training and quality assurance. We do not enter competitive award competitions because as we are involved in such hugely diverse areas area of work and business, where team working is of paramount importance, award competitions do not involve everyone so they could have the effect of prioritising some areas and diminishing the role of others.

We have however achieved: VisitScotland 4* Visitor Attraction, Scottish Quality Beef, Scottish Quality Cereals, Quality Trout UK quality assurance awards.
