Cairngorms Pride

02/04/2026

Our Spring Step Ye Gaylidh ceilidh was a real joy to behold. We had a fabulous time at the Duke Of Gordon Hotel in Kingussie and we welcomed many new faces to the dancefloor this time! We were looked after so well at the hotel, and Russell, Amy and Jordan from the Cairngorm Ceilidh Band kept us full of the dancing spirit for the evening 🎻

Our next ceilidh will be a biggie as it’s for Pride Month and the raffle prizes are already blowing our minds – you are not wanting to miss this one - we promise! Get Saturday 27th June in your diaries and we will have tickets on sale from early May 🌈

It will be at the same place, same time. We’re counting down already! 🕺

We are over the moon to have received a big donation of nature and ecology-focused books and magazines, from Robbie Nicol.

His generous donation is helping us to found the Cairngorms Pride Eco-Library (also being supported by the Green Health Fund), and we are in conversations with a potential partner space in Badenoch to host our books and magazines 🍃📚

Watch this space for updates!

We are delighted to say we have secured some funding to help start a new Q***r in Nature ecology and wellbeing group 🌱🍄 through the Think Health Think Nature / Green Health Partnership.

We asked for your thoughts about this at our Spring ceilidh, because just like the rest of our projects we want this to be shaped by you, the wonderful Cairngorms Pride community 🌈

If you would like to find out more including plans for the group and when we are looking to start up, please get in touch!
