Our Beacons

The Red Beacon is the heart of Operation Cairngorms, created for members of the military, serving personnel, veterans, and reservists. It’s your space to reconnect, rediscover, and rebuild through camaraderie, peer support, and practical skills in the outdoors.

Specific to our Emergency services or care operations. Relax and recuperate within the woodland, these workshops can be for individuals or larger groups.  We promote the positive benefits of spending time outdoors learning, achieving and slowing the pace of life down.
