After checking out the railway station we turned around and rode back out past the Old Mill Pub, over the Spey river and out to Coylumbridge.

At Coylumbridge we took the B970 down to Feshiebridge. For most of the trip we followed the course of the Spey River.

Feshiebridge is a quaint little village by the magnificent stone Feshie Bridge which spans the Feshie river.

From there we headed west to Kincraig and acces to the Highland Wildlife Park.

The interesting murals on this building feature the Boat of Insh. This was a village developed after the coming of the railway at a locality known as Boat of Insh, reflecting a ferry that crossed the Spey here. Boat of Insh railway station opened with the line in 1863, was renamed Kincraig in 1871 but closed in 1965. The name came from the nearby Kincraig House and estate.

The text refers to an excerpt from " Leaves From The Journal Of Our Life In The Highlands", written by Queen Victoria.

Victoria started a daily journal in 1832, when she was just thirteen years old, and her first words were, "This book, Mamma gave me, that I might write the journal of my journey to Wales in it". The keeping of such journals was common at that time. She was instructed in this by her governess, Lehzen, and her mother inspected the journals each day until she became Queen.

She continued writing until just ten days before her death, 69 years later, filling 122 volumes. She also wrote many letters and, with the journals, it is estimated that she wrote over two thousand words a day — about sixty million words during her lifetime.
