Balneden SteadingTomintoul, balnedensteading.co.ukTomintoul and Glenlivet, located within the Cairngorms National Park, is the most northerly dark sky park in the world. Members of the Cairngorms Astronomy Group offer frequent stargazing sessions with a laser-guided night sky tour. This stretch of coastline is sparsely populated enhancing the already dark skies of Lewis.
