Our take

Ben Aigan is the north-east's best-kept secret. The purpose-built singletrack is genuinely good — technical red-grade with natural rock features, steep descents and long flowing sections. It's a climb up to the trails but the views over the Spey Valley are worth the effort. Affected by forestry operations periodically, so check the FLS page before you travel.
