Kingussie is a small town in the heart of Badenoch in the Highland council area of Scotland, set on the banks of the River Spey and close to the Cairngorms. Its railway station on the Highland Main Line and proximity to Aviemore and Newtonmore make it a quiet hub for hillwalking, salmon fishing, birdwatching at Insh Marshes and access to winter sports in the national park.
Kingussie has a strong sporting and community identity - the local shinty side enjoyed a remarkable run of success - and its economy mixes tourism, outdoor recreation, farming and forestry. The town’s compact centre reflects Victorian-era growth around the railway while local festivals and Highland traditions keep a close-knit social life.
