Badenoch and Strathspey sits in the eastern part of Highland, Scotland, taking in much of the southern foothills of the Cairngorms National Park and the upper reaches of the River Spey. The ward mixes sweeping glens, mountain plateaux and pine forest, with the busy outdoor centre of Aviemore acting as a focal point for skiing, hillwalking and wildlife tourism.
Locally there is a strong Gaelic and Highland cultural thread - clan histories, traditional music and the Highland games remain important - and sports like shinty have deep roots in places such as Newtonmore and Kingussie. The economy is driven by tourism, estate management, forestry and links to the nearby Speyside whisky industry, so small, tight-knit communities swell in summer with visitors while maintaining long-standing social ties.
