The Forbidden College at Scalan

Roman Catholics established a training college for priests at Scalan during the 18th century. They chose this spot at the foot of the Ladder Hills because it was so remote and inaccessible in those days.

The surrounding area is home to breeding Curlew, Lapwing, Oystercatcher and Snipe during the spring.

A short distance to the east lie the Braes of Glenlivet, whilst to the west is Tomintoul - the highest village in the Highlands.
