Sustainable holiday provider Cairngorm Bothies has been featured by international news outlet Quartz as part of a global spotlight on Aberdeenshire’s economic transformation towards Net Zero.
Quartz recently named Aberdeenshire one of seven destinations worldwide leading the way in sustainable economic transition and eco-conscious diversification. As the North East shifts from traditional fossil fuel industries toward a greener future, the feature highlighted how independent, eco-focused operators are playing a critical role in retaining tourism spend within local communities and driving sustainable growth.
Located in Royal Deeside, Cairngorm Bothies provides off-grid accommodation designed to offer immersive guest experiences while drastically reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. The business was featured alongside several prominent North East enterprises, including Manar House, Barra Berries Farm Shop & Kitchen, Forest Farm - The Organic Dairy, and Fish Shop Ballater.
"We are honoured to be included in Quartz’s international coverage of Aberdeenshire," said Dr. Gordon Drummond, Owner of Cairngorm Bothies.
"Our off-grid model demonstrates how tourism can directly support environmental goals while generating economic value for local suppliers and the wider community. This global recognition reflects the hard work taking place across the entire region - alongside our local DMOs, council partners, and destination bodies—to build a truly sustainable future for North-east Scotland."
